📦 Package Ecosystem

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

dotnet add package Nextended.Core

// Custom types
var price = new Money(99.99m, Currency.USD);
var today = Date.Today;

// Object mapping
var userDto = user.MapTo<UserDto>();

// Advanced mapping with settings
var settings = ClassMappingSettings.Default

var dto = user.MapTo<UserDto>(settings);
