Definition and Process of Entity Conversion
Converted-Out: The business entity converted to another type or jurisdiction.
Conversion Process for Business Entities
- Private Limited Company to One Person Company (OPC)
- Private Company to Public Company
Difference Between Converted and Converting Entity
The “converting entity” is the entity existing before a conversion takes place. Meanwhile, the “converted entity” is the resulting entity from a conversion.
Database Operations and Conversion
When using EF for database operations, return ajax data in the foreground using a stateless DTO.
csharp
ExhibitorEntity exhibitor = exDbContext.exhibitor.Find(2);
exDbContext.Entry(exhibitor).State = EntityState.Detached;
ExhibitorDTO dto = Mapper.Map<ExhibitorEntity, ExhibitorDTO>(exhibitor);
To receive ajax data:
csharp
ExhibitorEntity entity = Mapper.Map<ExhibitorDTO, ExhibitorEntity>(dto);
exDbContext.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Modified;
exDbContext.SaveChanges();
Business Conversion Steps
Changing business entities allows potential capital growth and expansion. Steps vary by state but usually include:
- Write a Conversion Plan
- Get entity approvals
- Complete new entity formation documents
- Complete Certificate of Conversion
- File documents and fees
Entity and DTO Handling in RESTful APIs
Entities implement domain behavior. DTOs transfer data between processes without behavior except basic storage/retrieval.
From the DTO, create and persist an Entity. When requesting an Entity, convert it to a DTO for the client. Converting between DTOs and entities is essential for RESTful APIs in Spring Boot. Use best practices like mappers, annotations and constructor injection to streamline conversions.
