Enum Mapping Overview

Mappie supports mapping an enum class to another class. This can be achieved by implementing a mapper which extends from EnumMappie. If the target type of the mapper is an enum class, the mappings of the enum entries are resolved by name. If the target type is not an enum class, no implicit mappings can be constructed and all mappings must be defined explicitly.

For example, when constructing a mapper for the enum classes Color and Colour

enum class Color { RED, GREEN, BLUE; }

enum class Colour { RED, GREEN, BLUE; }

Mappie will resolve all mappings automatically, as the enum classes have identical entries. This can be achieved by writing the following enum mapper

object ColorMapper : EnumMappie<Color, Colour>()
