Flattening and unflattening

It is pretty common to flatten objects during mapping, eg. Car.Make.Id => CarDto.MakeId. Mapperly tries to figure out flattenings automatically by making use of the pascal case C# notation. If Mapperly can't resolve the target or source property correctly, it is possible to manually configure it by applying the MapPropertyAttribute by either using the source and target property path names as arrays or using a dot separated property access path string

[MapProperty(Source = new[] { nameof(Car), nameof(Car.Make), nameof(Car.Make.Id) }, Target = new[] { nameof(CarDto), nameof(CarDto.MakeId) })]
// Or alternatively
[MapProperty(Source = "Car.Make.Id", Target = "CarDto.MakeId")]

info

Unflattening is not automatically configured by Mapperly and needs to be configured manually via MapPropertyAttribute.
