Swagger C# Enum generation

发布于 2020-05-03 05:09:12

I created an enum on my server with integer values set manually rather than the default increment up from 0

public enum UserType
{
    Anonymous = 0,
    Customer = 10,
    Technician = 21,
    Manager = 25,
    Primary = 30
}

My server is running using AspNetCore.App 2.2.0. It's configured in Startup.cs with swashbuckle aspnetcore 4.0.1 to generate a swagger json file to describe the api every time the server is started.

I then use NSwag Studio for windows v 13.2.3.0 to generate a C sharp api client with that swagger JSON file, for use in a Xamarin app. The generated enum in the resulting c sharp api client looks like this - the underlying integer values do not match the original enum.

[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCode("NJsonSchema", "10.1.5.0 (Newtonsoft.Json v11.0.0.0)")]
public enum UserType
{
    [System.Runtime.Serialization.EnumMember(Value = @"Anonymous")]
    Anonymous = 0,

    [System.Runtime.Serialization.EnumMember(Value = @"Customer")]
    Customer = 1,

    [System.Runtime.Serialization.EnumMember(Value = @"Technician")]
    Technician = 2,

    [System.Runtime.Serialization.EnumMember(Value = @"Manager")]
    Manager = 3,

    [System.Runtime.Serialization.EnumMember(Value = @"Primary")]
    Primary = 4,

}

This creates a problem for me client side as there are situations where I need to know the integer value. I am looking for a solution where I can avoid writing converters every time I want to know the integer value on the client side.

Option 1: Is there an option I am missing in either NSwag Studio or in .net configuration (my Startup.Cs config is below for reference) where I can force the generated enums to get the same integer values as the original enum?

Option 2: Alternatively if not, both my client and my server have access to the same original enum via a shared class library. Is there a way to get the generated api client to use the actual original enums in the apiclient.cs rather than generate its own?

Reference:

The enums part of my swagger generation code in Startup.Cs looks like this

services.AddJsonOptions(options =>
                    {
                        options.
                            SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(new StringEnumConverter());
....

services.AddSwaggerGen(setup =>
                  {
                      setup.SwaggerDoc("v1", new Info { Title = AppConst.SwaggerTitle, Version = "v1" });
                      setup.UseReferencedDefinitionsForEnums();
                      ... other stuff...
                  }

So these are the two Enum Helpers I'm using. One is used by NSwag (x-enumNames) and the other is used by Azure AutoRest (x-ms-enums)

Finally found the reference for EnumDocumentFilter (https://stackoverflow.com/a/49941775/1910735)

                throw new ArgumentNullException("model");

            if (context == null)

            if (context.SystemType.IsEnum)
            {
                var names = Enum.GetNames(context.SystemType);
                model.Extensions.Add("x-enumNames", names);
            }
        }
    }
}

Then in your startup.cs you configure them

        services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
        {
            ... the rest of your configuration

            // REMOVE THIS to use Integers for Enums
            // c.DescribeAllEnumsAsStrings();

            // add enum generators based on whichever code generators you decide
            c.SchemaFilter<NSwagEnumExtensionSchemaFilter>();
            c.SchemaFilter<EnumFilter>();
        });

This should generate your enums as this in the Swagger.json file

        sensorType: {
          format: "int32",
          enum: [
            0,
            1,
            2,
            3
          ],
          type: "integer",
          x-enumNames: [
            "NotSpecified",
            "Temperature",
            "Fuel",
            "Axle"
          ],
          x-ms-enum: {
            name: "SensorTypesEnum",
            modelAsString: false,
            values: [{
                value: 0,
                name: "NotSpecified"
              },
              {
                value: 1,
                name: "Temperature"
              },
              {
                value: 2,
                name: "Fuel"
              },
              {
                value: 3,
                name: "Axle"
              }
            ]
          }
        },

There is one issue with this solution though, (which I haven't had time to look into) Is that the Enum names are generated with my DTO names in NSwag - If you do find a solution to this do let me know :-)

Example, the following Enum was generated using NSwag:
