Introduce configuration to allow mapping from the datasource to a ViewModel, and mapping from the ViewModel to the datasource

Using Automapper may be the preferred technique here

ChristianWeyer commented 2 years ago

Very good idea. Should we rather refer to them as Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), and not ViewModels?

csharpfritz commented 2 years ago

I think you're right @ChristianWeyer - in APIs they're DTOs since there is no UI
