In-place mapping or returning type upon update?

[Nizio-Dev]

Hello. I am in need of overloading methods using method parameters, such as:

public static partial A To(this Target source, A destination);
public static partial B To(this Target source, B destination);

Usage:

var target = new Target();
var mappedA = target.To(new A())

I've searched for a solution to this, but wasn't able to find anything.

My current solution takes the new object as a parameter, but basically creates it's own object inside the generated mapper - as expected.

I know there's update style, but it doesn't return the type i've passed down, thus forces me to create new line just to assign a new object to a variable.

Are there any ways to do the thing i want? Or is there a limitation?

Edit: I know that's a minor thing I want to avoid by creating an additional, short lived object, but i'm just curious :)

Mapperly does not support this scenario at the moment and currently we don't have plans to do so, unless there is enough user request. We try to keep the API surface limited. This helps us maintain the project more effectively and keeps usage simple.
