but how do i get that into my function startup?! as a long shot, i tried this:
[assembly: FunctionsStartup(typeof(MyProject.Functions.Startup))]
namespace MyProject.Functions
{
public class Startup : FunctionsStartup
{
public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
{
builder.Services.AddSingleton<IMapDefinition, MyMapDefinition>();
}
}
}
the mapper is null when the service code is hit...
any suggestions are, as ever, greatly received (if only to tell me 'jake, you're barking up the wrong tree, ditch the umbraco mapper and use something else).
I don't know if your azure function has Umbraco dependencies.
This is what I use in my unit tests for mappings :
var definitions = new List<IMapDefinition> { new TestMapping() };
var mapper = new UmbracoMapper(new MapDefinitionCollection(() => definitions), Mock.Of<IScopeProvider>());
So you will need a instance of IScopeProvider in your azure function.
But if you have no dependencies on Umbraco maybe it's better to use a standalone mapping library.
i'd got as far as new UmbracoMapper() and was trying to figure out how to sort out the scope provider... the other problem being that most of my maps have services injected into them which also makes binding up new List<IMapDefinition> difficult as you have to manually inject things into the constructor (which you'd be doing with mocks in tests...)
the other problem was i couldn't get my head around was then set up the IUmbracoMapper to accept the var mapper = new UmbracoMapper()...
basically, i spent a good couple of hours going in circles and wrapping myself in knots!
the trick at the moment is that the services and the azure function don't really need to talk to umbraco at all, i'd used the mapper out of convivence more than anything else...
i really am beginning to think that i should write my own mapper?!
unless... i can find someone... whos managed to get umbraco... working in a console app?! i swear that i read a blog post not so long ago where someone had managed to get it working with v8...
Is it possible to use the IUmbracoMapper in a console application or azure function?!
hey out there,
TL;DR is this even possible, or am i better off using something different for my mapping that doesn't have a dependency on the umbraco core?
i hadda feeling this would come back to bite me...
we've a umbraco 9 site that has a service that maps pocos to models. to do this i've used the IUmbracoMapper interface.
it works fine in the site, however i now need to use the same service in a console application and an azure function...
...and i can't figure out how to bind up the mappers i've written to the IUmbracoMapper interface!
for example, this is in the site composer:

hi dave,
thank you for the reply, much appreciated.
i see what you mean and i had started having a look through https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/v8/dev/src/Umbraco.Tests/Mapping/MappingTests.cs to see if there would be any pointers on how to set things up...

i thought i'd seen something about a console app and umbraco...
callum whyte did a talk on something called 'sidecar':
https://github.com/callumbwhyte/sidecar/tree/dev/src/Sidecar.ConsoleApp
but i'm having a real hard time getting any details on it...
Hi Jake,
Maybe you can try out this : https://github.com/callumbwhyte/sidecar
This meant to use Umbraco services in a console app or azure function.
But if your function is not talking to Umbraco maybe it's better to write your own factory methods or mapping. Or use something like Automapper.
Dave
ha! you got there before i'd refreshed the page ;)
yup, sidecar just popped into my mind... i'll have a dig through...
Hello!
I managed to make a console application work with Umbraco on .NET Core and I created a simple working example here:
https://github.com/bcdragomir/Umbraco.Console
It's not using Sidecar, just plain .NET stuff.
nice work!
is working on a reply...
