Where do I now import createMetadataMap? -- upgraded from 2.1.1

[johnpankowicz]

I just updated an Angular project. While doing that I updated my automapper npm packages from ^2.1.1 to ^8.3.2. I now get an error on my import statement:

import { createMetadataMap, pojos } from '@automapper/pojos';

@automapper/pojos"' has no exported member 'createMetadataMap'

Where do I import this from now? Also, will I need to do a lot of other refactoring when upgrading from 2.1.1. to 8.3.2?

Hi @johnpankowicz, if you use pojos, then probably more migrations to do than usual. I'd recommend checking out the migration guide (https://automapperts.netlify.app/docs/getting-started/migrate-to-automapper-v8#automapperpojos). Hit me up if you have more questions

Thanks. I fixed the createMetadataMap calls.

I also modified my createMapper() call as shown for pojos

from

const mapper = createMapper({
    pluginInitializer: pojos, // no ()
});

to:

const mapper = createMapper({
    strategyInitializer: pojos(), // invoking
});

But it tells me:

(property) GovbodyMapper.mapper: Mapper
Type 'Mapper' is missing the following properties from type 'Mapper': name, plugin, addTypeConverter, createMap, and 2 more.ts(2740)

Could I have a problem with mismatched npm packages? package.json shows I have @automapper/pojos": "^8.3.2" and @automapper/types": "^6.3.1"

You can just uninstall @automapper/types
