Mapping must be called using ServiceAdapter about mapster HOT 3 OPEN

Stumbled across this issue myself. Using BuildAdapter() does not use the injected service IMapper. If you need to access services, you always need to use IMapper.

Inject IMapper in your class or pass it as parameter, then you can use await mapper.From(source).AdaptToTypeAsync<Destination>() and it will work. Only then the MapContext has access to the services.

Thanks @Skyppid!
It seems like this is still an issue though, as the docs describe that BuildAdapter() should work equally well.

Thanks @Skyppid! It seems like this is still an issue though, as the docs describe that BuildAdapter() should work equally well.

My assumption is since Mapster is not exclusively for ASP.Net that the docs relate to the general usage. Accessing DI in the async after-delegate is very specific to ASP.Net though and in this case you're right. The docs should be extended to supply that information for this context.

But it only makes sense that in a general scenario where you don't have DI you'd approach it like it is stated in the docs. Took me a while to figure out as well, but I guess this was never considered during the development of Async. In general the Async extension is quite a whacky workaround. It works but I'd say it's not a beautiful implementation.

At least I'm having serious issues with it when it comes to polymorphic DTOs...
