Given we have these classes:
Nested mapping
A nested mapping would be the mapping between DomainPersons Address-property and the GuiPersons Address-property. There are two ways of handling this:
Simplified nested mapping
As of version 0.3.1 of Glue, you can now simply write a mapping between the City-properties like this:
When using simplified nested mapping, please note:
Nested mapping with a separately defined mapping
There is also a possibility to define the mapping between City to add a mapping between Address to our mapping. There might be several reasons for doing this. For instance if you already have a defined mapping between DomainAddress and GuiAddress (you use it in other places). Or if you want to run a relationsverification on all nested properties, then you need a separate mapping that you can run it on.
Here is how you do it: Nested mapping
Flattening
Simplified nested mapping of flattened relations works just the same way as described above
If you want to define a flattening with a separately defined mapping, here's how: Flattening
Example
Here is a complete example of a mapping using simplified nested mapping: Flattening a large structure
You can also map this with explicit nested mappings, here's how: Flattening large structure with explicit nested mappings
publicclass GuiPerson { public String Name { get; set; } public GuiAddress Address { get; set; } } publicclass GuiAddress { public String City { get; set; } } publicclass DomainPerson { public String Name { get; set; } public DomainAddress Address { get; set; } } publicclass DomainAddress { public String City { get; set; } }

mapping.Relate(domain => domain.Address.City, gui => gui.Address.City);
When using simplified nested mapping, please note:
- Although equal names, nested properties like City will not autorelate. Autorelate will only work on root properties.
- Relationsverifications will not check if all properties on all nested types are related. In this case the RelationVerification would check if all the properties on GuiPerson/DomainPerson is related, but not on DomainAddress or GuiAddress.
- Mapperverification will work as normal and test all relations added, even if they are nested.
