Hands-on .NET Minimal API for Web Developers - Step 13: Use AutoMapper to MapPost Method

The video tutorial covers the implementation of Auto Mapper and DTOs in a .NET application. It explains how to use dependency injection to add a mapper, convert input models to data models, and perform database operations. The tutorial also addresses testing the application using Postman, fixing issues with DTOs, and converting enums to strings using JSON converters. The final section demonstrates the successful execution of the application with the corrected DTO and enum settings.

Describe the process of saving changes to the database after mapping the input model.

What is the significance of converting the data model back to the input model after saving?

In what scenarios would you need to filter out properties from the data model when creating a DTO?
