[BUG] Openapi generated docs won't submit arrays correctly in forms.
Greetings. There's been an issue to the problem I am referring to, which was closed for no reason to my understanding.
Essentially, when you define a Schema
with a List[str]
field the openapi generated documentation is not in sync with what the schema excepts.
The schema excepts a repeated value (e.g names=John&names=Jane) or through JavaScript
code:
const names = ["John", "Jane"];
const form = new FormData();
for (const name of names) form.append("names", name);
// make request
But the openapi docs send a single comma separated string resulting to an array with a single item containing that string (e.g ["John, Jane"]
.
The documentation is supposed to work out of the box. User code checking for commas to fix that library issue shouldn't be acceptable (what if the separated string contained a comma itself?).
