Interface IConvertToEavLight

Helper / Service to prepare Entities, Streams and DataSources to ToSic.Eav.DataFormats.EavLight for automatic serialization in WebApis.

It can prepare single items like IEntity and ToSic.Eav.Data.IEntityWrapper like DynamicEntities. It can also prepare IEnumerable/List of these types, as well as DataStream and DataSource objects.

In Custom Code / Razor / WebApi you can get this service with Dependency Injection like
var converter = GetService<IConvertToEavLight>();

Syntax
[PublicApi]
public interface IConvertToEavLight : IConvertEntity<EavLightEntity>, IConvert<IEntity, EavLightEntity>, IConvert<IEntityWrapper, EavLightEntity>, IConvert<object, EavLightEntity>, IConvertDataSource<EavLightEntity>, IHasLog
Remarks

We're standardizing how conversions are done using the IConvert<TFrom, TTo> interface. This is why you don't see any methods on this interface in the docs. In most cases you'll just do var prepared = converter.Convert(someEntityObjectOrList);
