SmartMapper.mapping(template, entryData);

Arguments

entryData: json data to transform

template: json object contain this structure :
    mappings: json object that contain in keys the destination, and in values the path in   the specific object to extract
    rules: array that contains methods to execute on a particular field during the transformation.
    rules is an optional value in the template object.
    validate: predicate called before insert item, only insert if predicate is true. Optional parameter.
    childrenPropertyName : name of property to map children
    
    each rule is composed of the "on" , "execute"  and postCondition properties.
    
    The value of the "on" property is the name of a field in the object mapping.
    
    The value of the "execute" property is a function that can take up to 4 parameters: (value, item, array, index) where:

value: value extracted from the field value
item: the current object in the table
array: the entire array
index; the position of the current item in the table

the value of the "postCondition" is a function with 1 parameter :(the current transformed key). If the function return false, the transformed key is not insert in the curernt item.
