Conversion Between DTO and Entity Classes in Scala

When you practicing DDD (Domain-Driven-Design), you need to create different bounded countexts, for example when you receive DTO object PersonDTO, It should be mapped to PersonEntity. This conversion, have lots of repetitive works to copy fields of one object to another.

In scala there is type-safa data transoformer chimney which can do it for you with macros and providing simple dsl for it.

Scala-Automapper is another library which is similar to chimney but when you have some difference in fields type, you can’t do it, easily like chimney
