Description

Generation of Crystal client using Free-Form object results in compile time error Error: undefined constant AnyType.

Free-form objects are described here: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/dictionaries/#free-form

Free-Form Objects

If the dictionary values can be of any type (aka free-form object), use additionalProperties: true:

type: object additionalProperties: true

This is equivalent to:

type: object additionalProperties: {}

Running crystal spec results in the following:

In src/addlprops/models/pet.cr:27:34

 27 | property info : Hash(String, AnyType)?
                                   ^------
Error: undefined constant AnyType

This is due to the following generated code:

    # Optional properties
    @[JSON::Field(key: "info", type: Hash(String, AnyType)?, nillable: true, emit_null: false)]
    property info : Hash(String, AnyType)?

The same result occurs for:

5. crystal spec

Suggest a fix

I was able to compile the client by changing Hash(String, AnyType) to Hash(String, Object).
