How to implement AutoMapper in Asp.Net Core

In one of the previous videos we have discussed why using DTOs in API projects is vital. Now it''s time to introduce a very powerful tool that helps us to automatically translate our domain models to DTOs: AutoMapper. The good thing about AutoMapper is that it actually works almost out of the box, with a minimal configuration, based on conventions. During this video we do everything from scratch: we install Automapper via NuGet, add AutoMapper to the DI container in ASP.Net Core, configure mapping profiles and, last but not least, inject an IMapper in our controler and use it to do its magic.

I really like if you make a video on the advanced functions, other than reverseMap, and AfterMap.... just to see when and in which casea we could use them
Anyway, this video is very helpful, and keep up the good work 👍

[@Codewrinkles]

Thank you very much for your feedback. I was already thinking about a video on some more advanced functions on Automapper like projections and the EF extensions. Now, that I also saw there is demand for this, I'll definitely do that.
