Map from Dictionary<string, object> to Class Case-Insensitive

[hatzhang]

There has been a solution for the older version.
With the version of 12.0, the FromStringDictionaryMapper can be easily customized to support this. But it seems there is no way to get it to be inserted at the beginning of the list of mappers as before.
Any suggestions?

It's more efficient to replace the existing mapper. You need cfg.Internal().Mappers. See
https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/blob/104a192407858fe3a54a8a937ca95a34fd7c6959/src/UnitTests/Mappers/CustomMapperTests.cs#L47

Thanks. I replaced the original like this, and it works.

            var index = cfg.Internal().Mappers.FindIndex(mapper => mapper is FromStringDictionaryMapper);
            if (index >= 0)
            {
                cfg.Internal().Mappers.RemoveAt(index); 
                cfg.Internal().Mappers.Insert(index, new FromCaseInsensitiveStringDictionaryMapper());
            }

Wonder if there is better way to get this done, instead of using the Internal.

No, on purpose :) But obviously you only need it once.
