Missing types from components > requestBodies about orval HOT 3 CLOSED

@OliverDudgeon Hello, thanks for reporting this bug. I just published a new alpha version that should solve your problem you can check 5.0.0-alpha.5. I saw that you use multipart with an object, I did an implementation for it but if it's doesn't work for your case let me know what you would have expected. But either way, you can use a mutator with those operations to send the data as you want.

Hi, thanks for the alpha build. It's letting us make progress!

The multipart forms use arrays for "labels". Our API accepts these comma-seperated so

["label1", "label2"] => "label1,label2"

E.g. our Swagger UI generates this curl

curl -X POST "https://squonk.informaticsmatters.org/data-manager-api/dataset" -H  "accept: application/json" -H  "Authorization: Bearer eyJV0y_QX...3a_Ag7nMtA" -H  "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "as_filename=test" -F "dataset_type=chemical/x-mdl-sdfile" -F "labels=l1,l2" -F "[email protected];type=application/gzip"

I.e just a labels.join(',') but this of course just our chosen method. Like with query parameters there are several ways for Objects and Array.

I would guess Orval should provide a field in the config that would take an object or array and "stringify" it based on the user's API design via something like qs maybe? Or is that just a missing example/doc for how to use a mutator?

Hello, Thanks for the feedback. When you use a mutator you receive directly the body data not transformed and then you can use it or transform it how you want. I am hesitating to add an option in the config to modify directly the form data. You would give the default key for the form data (currently like this formData.append('data', THEDATA) or a function to help you generate your form data how you want (example (bodyData) => { your implementation which return a form data })
