How to connect importMappings and yaml in Swagger

Question

I have Spring RESTfull application and I want to generate an API for it. I use a gradle configuration from there https://github.com/Casturan/swagger-gradle-example/blob/master/build.gradle to generate code. But there is problem it uses models defined in definitions: while I want it to use my models from shared module. I found that I need to use importMapping but when I try to apply this command in my build.gradle I am getting an error:

importMappings = [
   'board_container': 'board_container=com.workingbit.share.domain.impl.BoardContainer'
]
> Could not set unknown property 'importMappings' for task ':myproject:generateApi' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask.

So question how to use importMapping and how to connect it with my model in yaml?

Answer 1

I haven't tried it but looking at the code of CodegenConfigurator modifying the generateApi task like this in the build.gradle might work:

task generateApi {
  inputs.file("$projectDir/$swaggerSourceFile")
  outputs.dir("$projectDir/$swaggerTargetFolder")
  doLast{
    def config = new CodegenConfigurator()
    config.setInputSpec("file:///$projectDir/$swaggerSourceFile")
    config.setOutputDir("$projectDir")
    config.setLang('spring')
    config.setAdditionalProperties([
        'interfaceOnly' : 'true',
        'apiPackage'    : 'com.dturan.api',
        'modelPackage'  : 'com.dturan.model',
        'sourceFolder'  : swaggerTargetFolder
    ])
    //Add this line
    config.addImportMapping("board_container", "com.workingbit.share.domain.impl.BoardContainer")
    new DefaultGenerator().opts(config.toClientOptInput()).generate()
  }
}

The CodegenConfigurator is being called at the second line in the build.gradle you linked to in your question and it has a few methods to configure importMappings. You can have a look here (if this doesn't work try with the setImportMappings).
