Arrays mapping is not working

[CameliaTrif]

Hi,

It seems that mapping arrays using the automapper-ts library doesn't work for me.
Let's take this simple example. I have an interface called UserData and a class called User and I'm trying to map UserData to User.
export interface UserData {
username: string;
myList: number[];
}

export class User {
username: string = '';
myList: number[] = [];
}

In appcomponent (I am working with angular 6) I have the following setup:

export class AppComponent {
user: User;

const userData: UserData = {
username: 'johndoe',
myList: [1,2,3]
}

automapper
.createMap('user-data', 'user')
.convertToType(User);

this.user = automapper.map('UserData', 'User', userData);

console.log('UserData', userData);
console.log('User', this.user);
}

The console displays:

As you can see, for User I cannot see/access myList elements, they are not populated.
I didn't find any similar issue reported and as I noticed none of the automapper-ts tests do not cover this case.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,
Camelia

I was able to get it to work by adding an explicit mapping for the property.

automapper
	.createMap('user-data', 'user')
	.forMember("myList", (opts: AutoMapper.IMemberConfigurationOptions) => {
	    opts.mapFrom("myList")
	})
	.convertToType(User);

Also, make sure you are specifying the correct keys in the map() method call.

this.user = automapper.map('user-data', 'user', userData);

Best solution that I found is:
export class User { username: string = ''; myList: number[] = undefined as any; }
