Collection responses

Opened this issue · 3 comments

I'm trying to add a list request to the Swagger documentation, so what I did was

get<something>(
    "all".responds(ok<Collection<Something>>())
) {
    call.respond(somethingService.list())
}

Here, somethingService.list() returns a Collection<Something>. But this doesn't work, it throws an exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid number of type parameters specified: expected 0, got 1
	at de.nielsfalk.ktor.swagger.SwaggerParameterizedTypeKt.parameterize(SwaggerParameterizedType.kt:19)

Am I missing something, or is this not (yet) supported? The pet store example seems to sidestep this problem by wrapping the list responses in an object, I want to avoid this method, and just return a JSON array of objects.

Not currently supported.

I also, personally, don't use the reflection based schema generation. Just a heads up.

We're also actively looking for other maintainers who are looking to add additional features to this.

Ah ok, that's unfortunate ;) I'm not quite sure how to go about adding support for this. Are there any good examples of non-reflection-based schema generation? I've had a look through the unit tests, but based on those I don't really understand yet how to use it. The only good example is the pet store one, and that one is reflection-based.

I have examples in my own code, but that's all internal. I don't have the time to write up examples, unfortunately.
What I've been doing is passing in json pointers to externally, manually added schemas.
