With the following Types:

class Account
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public ICollection<Order> Orders { get; set; }
    public ICollection<Address> DeliveryAddresses { get; set; }
}

class AccountDto
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public bool HasOrders { get; set; }
    public int DeliveryAddressCount { get; set; }
    public bool FirstDeliveryAddressHasPostcode { get; set; }
}

HasOrders, DeliveryAddressCount and FirstDeliveryAddressHasPostcode are 'meta' members - members which contain information about other members. AgileMapper will automatically populate them as follows:

• HasOrders - whether Orders is non-null and has a count greater than zero

• DeliveryAddressCount - the number of elements in the source DeliveryAddresses collection

• FirstDeliveryAddressHasPostcode - whether the first element in the source DeliveryAddresses collection has a non-default Postcode property value

Meta members are also supported in query projections.

Types of Meta Member

Has<MemberName>

Whether the member with name <MemberName>:

• Has a non-default value, if it is a value type
• Is non-null and contains elements, if it is an enumerable type
• Is non-null otherwise

<MemberName>Count / NumberOf<MemberNames>

The number of elements contained by the enumerable member with name <MemberNames>. <MemberName>Count expects the enumerable member to be named with the plural of <MemberName>, e.g. OrderCount will look for an enumerable named Orders.

First<MemberName> / Last<MemberName>

The first or last elements contained by the enumerable member with name <MemberNames>. If the enumerable member is null or empty, the default value will be used. Both expect the enumerable member to be named with the plural of <MemberName>, e.g. FirstDeliveryAddress will look for an enumerable named DeliveryAddresses.

Composite Meta Members

Meta members can be combined, as with FirstDeliveryAddressHasPostcode, above.

Limitations

Navigation via one member only is supported, e.g. HasDeliveryAddresses only supports a member named DeliveryAddresses, not a complex type member named Delivery with a nested complex type member named Addresses.
