I remember working on a project where the initial devs defined explicit mappings for all the members, including the ones that were identical between the mapped models. The final code was way larger than using simple assignments. (more) |

A: What are the disadvantages of using auto mapper libraries? Based on my experience auto-mapping has some drawbacks: - "find all references" not working as expected - anyone relying on the "find all references" functionality or similar will miss the implicit assignments happening only at runtime due to automapping - property rename - if any of the proper...

What are the disadvantages of using auto mapper libraries? I have noticed that lots of projects (both in real-world and within online courses) use Automapper to map domain models to view models, API models. The main advantage seems to be convenience by removing the need for lots of assignments when dealing with models with lots of properties. However, ... (more) |

In the current development context (2020+), is there any reason to use database triggers? I have not used a database trigger in years in the projects of the teams I have worked in, but I have seen them being used by other teams. Back in 2009, it seemed like a heated debate, but I am wondering if they are useful anymore for modern software applications. By modern software application... (more) |

When stored procedures are preferred over application layer code? []()A person I used to work with several years ago was hired to rewrite a product using a .NET-based modern tech stack. One of the aspects that stroke me was that he believes that the product should mostly rely on stored procedures and less on the ORM (e.g. Entity Framework). I have also heard this a... (more) |

A: Should we allow UI/UX questions in our community? Yes I would allow UI/UX questions with some limitations. Examples: - on topic - UI/UX questions related to an interface that also involves some programming (e.g. web interfaces) - offtopic - questions about choosing fonts for banners or graffiti, color to be used in some ads etc. (more) |

@#36363 Questions not about code are OK, as long as they are close to the development process. Example: https://software.codidact.com/posts/285389. Here I am not providing any code and neither do the answers. However, I am speaking about specific implementation details, not just a rough idea. (more) |

A: Appropriate HTTP status code for "user confirmation required" Unless there are reasons for keeping the "check for unintended consequences" and "perform the action" in the same endpoint, I would split them into two parts: 1. `GET /api/v1/action-can-charge-the-client/{id}`. This should respond with 200 and the required information so that the client knows that... (more) |

How to mock LazyCache when performing unit testing? A few of my services rely on LazyCache and they use it by injecting IAppCache. For unit testing, I would like to mock this. I have found MockCachingService, but it does not do any caching (as specified in the comments). What is the way to perform unit testing in this scenario? (more) |
