Broken json marshal/unmarshal for nested additional properties
json marshal/unmarshal is broken for nested additional properties like:
nested:
description: Has nested additional properties
type: object
additionalProperties:
additionalProperties: true
type: "object"
I've looked into fixing this issue, but I'm not sure on the best approach. One option would be to modify the https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/blob/master/pkg/codegen/templates/additional-properties.tmpl#L63 to handle such nested additionalProperties. Another one to generate named structs also for such cases with their own marshalling / unmarshalling function.
Do you have any preference or a different idea?
Oh, this is a hard one. AdditionalProperties is very difficult to synthesize.
Can you reformat your schema like this:
components:
schemas:
InnerObject:
additionalProperties: true
OuterObject:
type: object
additionalProperties:
$ref: "#/components/schemas/InnerObject"
Yes, but I wondered if the autogenerated code could also generate „inner“ structs automatically instead of an anonymous one. This would solve this issue without a need to modify the schema. A naming convention could be the name of the surrounding stuct +Inner for each level. Wdyt?
That's the right long term fix, it's just going to require some refactoring. Hopefully the workaround is ok for now.
