+# Automapper OData $expand example
+A short project demonstrating how one could use Automapper with $expand and have the result collection include $inlinecount and nextpagequery links.
+
+# Idea
+Automapper includes great support for OData in that you can just do an [EnableQuery] and then ProjectTo<> inside your controller code, and $order, $top, $skip, $select and $filter work out of the box.
+
+What was missing is the next page link (think HATEOAS), total count and the ability to skip expanding the navigational properties.
+By default, Automapper supports .ExplicitExpansion() in the Map, so all we needed to do was add translation from OData $expand to the relevant call of ProjectTo<>.
