Reference Apps & Case Studies

To validate the robustness of AutoMappic’s compile-time interception, we maintain several reference implementations ranging from foundational demonstrations to full-scale enterprise migrations.

1. Foundation: SampleApp

• Location: samples/SampleApp
• Purpose: Demonstrates the core capabilities of the library in a modern .NET 9 environment.
• Key Features:
  • Cross-Project Discovery: Showcases how AddAutoMappic() chains registration across project boundaries without reflection.
  • PascalCase Flattening: Validates the automatic resolution of deep object graphs.
  • Native AOT Profile: Configured for verification of zero-reflection execution paths.

2. Drop-in Compatibility: eShopOnWeb Migration

• Location: samples/eShopOnWebWin
• Source: Microsoft eShopOnWeb Reference Architecture
• Purpose: Proves that AutoMappic can serve as an immediate replacement for AutoMapper in legacy enterprise systems.
• Case Study: We replaced the AutoMapper dependency in the Web and Core projects with AutoMappic. By maintaining identical Profile and ForMember syntax, the migration required zero changes to the underlying mapping business logic, successfully resolving complex CatalogItem and CatalogBrand mappings at compile-time.

3. High-Performance Parity: Modern eShop

• Location: samples/eShopModernWin
• Source: Modern dotnet/eShop Aspire Version
• Purpose: Evaluates AutoMappic against the "Gold Standard" of manual object assignment.
• Context: The modern dotnet/eShop architecture avoids mappers entirely in favor of manual mapping to ensure 100% Native AOT compliance and maximum throughput.
• Success Metric: AutoMappic achieved bit-for-bit parity with the manual implementation while reducing several hundred lines of boilerplate code into a single, centralized configuration.
