How to set the type name?

[damieng]

The IElasticMapping interface lets you plug-in whatever mechanism you like. You could easily change the above example to use a dictionary and expose a SetDocumentType method on it to add to that dictionary.

The ElasticContext constructor can take an object that implements IElasticMapping which is responsible for figuring out all typenames, property names etc. By default it instantiates a TrivialElasticMapping which does some things like camel casing etc.

I'd recommend starting with subclassing TrivialElasticMapping and just overriding what you need, e.g.

public class CustomElasticMapping : TrivialElasticMapping {
  public override string GetDocumentType(Type type) {
    if (type.Name == "CodesAntiTheftDeviceModel") return "antitheft_device_code";
    return base.GetDocumentType(type).ToLower();
  }
}
...
var context = new ElasticContext(..., new CustomElasticMapping());

That is a workaround I can use for now but it would be nice to add something simpler so we can use in a base repository while creating the options/context or even a SetDocumentType(Type, string) method with holding internally a dictionary to resolve in runtime.

Thank you for your quick response.

It's sufficient, it worked great!
