default value does not show up in req.swagger.params if using in: body

[terencechow]

This seems like a bug to me. Not sure if it is a bug in swagger-node or swagger-core.

Already raised a stackoverflow question with no results.

To reiterate that SO question:

given the below swagger definition:

/myroute:
    x-swagger-router-controller: myroute
    post:
        operationId: createSomething
        parameters:
            - name: payload
              in: body
              required: true
              schema:
                  type: object
                  properties:
                      somedefault:
                          type: string
                          default: teststring

I would expect console.log(req.swagger.params.payload.value) in my createSomething function to be:

{somedefault: 'teststring'}

Instead I get nothing showing for the key somedefault.

Further, if you use default on a parameter that is in: query , the default value exists when console logging it. This tells me the issue may be specific to the in: body.

I've just come across this too, super annoying!

@terencechow did you ever get anywhere with it?

Same problem for me too. In addition, we can send any random parameters which are not defined in the swagger. I mean, if parameter {random:'Random String'} is not defined in the swagger schema, we can send that too and swagger simply accepts them with out any warning or errors.

I have the same problem!

Is Swagger still being actively developed?
