The code consuming the façade is more elegant because it uses the Map methods directly instead of the properties. The responsibility of the façade is the same as the aggregate, but it implements the interfaces instead of exposing them as properties.

This example shares a lot of the same code as the aggregate services example we just explored, so we start to look at the new code that replaces the IProductMappers interface and the ProductMappers class:

using Shared.Contracts;
using Shared.Mappers;
using Shared.Models;
namespace MappingFacade;
public interface IProductMapperService :
    IMapper<Product, ProductSummary>,
    IMapper<InsertProduct, Product>,
    IMapper<UpdateProduct, Product&gt...
