SuperMapper

SuperMapper is a quick and simple mapper between Ruby object.
Define a mapping between attribute readers and writers and automatically convert classes.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'super_mapper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install super_mapper

Create a new Mapper instance, then start describing mapping to a specific class

mapper = SuperMapper.new

# Define a mapping from a User to a UserStruct
mapper.define_mapping User, UserStruct  do |user, user_struct|
  user_struct.first_name = user.first_name
  
  # Apply transformations
  user_struct.username = user.username.downcase
  
  # Generate new values 
  user_struct.created_at = Time.now
end

user = User.first

# With target classes
user_struct = mapper.map user, UserStruct

# With existing target objects (target is modified in place)
mapper.map user, user_struct

# Multiple mappings can be applied to the same target. 
# Later ones override previously set value if conflicts occur.

some_other_user_representation = context[:current_user]
 
mapper.map user, user_struct
mapper.map some_other_user_representation, user_struct

# +user_struct+ now has fields from both User and the other representation

If using target classes, they MUST implement a no-args constructor because new instances are created via target_class.new.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
