Description
Hi,
is there any way to retrieve mappings via API? It would be nice to know what property of type A becomes what property of type B. I'll try to clarify the request using an example: mapping a filter or sort clause from DTO to DO. Consider for instance
@Mapping(source = "numberOfSeats", target = "seatCount")
CarDto carToDto(Car car);
@InheritInverseConfiguration
Car carDtoToCar(CarDto carDto);
Suppose the UI has a toggle to filter the car based on the number of seats: CarDTO is filtered on seatCount property while Car is filtered on numberOfSeats. I'd like to have a way to retrieve this information in order to convert Filter/Sort objects between frontend and backend. Is there any way I can achieve this with the existing APIs?
Thank you,
lorenzo
