Would like to know how to hide a model property in Swagger on POST. I have tried both Swagger-springmvc (0.9.3) and Springfox (supports swagger spec 2.0) to no avail.
Problem being I would like to see this in the GET requests through Swagger. But not POST requests, since id is auto-assigned, I would like to hide it just for the POST request.
public class RestModel {
private int id;
@JsonProperty
private String name;
@JsonProperty
public int getId() {
return 0;
}
@JsonIgnore
public void setId(int customerId) {
this.customerId = customerId;
}
public int getName() {
return "abc";
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
So on GET, I should see:
{
"id": 0,
"name" : "abc"
}
And on POST, I should see just:
{
"name"
}
Tried adding: @ApiModelProperty(readonly=true). But that didn't help.
I have solved this with simply extending the Object that I want to hide a property of when using as request parameter.
Example:
I have the object Person.java:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnore;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonView;
import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.Years;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import io.swagger.annotations.ApiModelProperty;
/**
* Simple Person pojo
*/
@Entity
public class Person {
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Id
private Long dbId;
private String name;
private Long id;
@JsonFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd")
private Date birthDate;
private String gender;
public Person() {
}
public Person(long dbId) {
this.dbId = dbId;
}
public Person(Long id, String name, Date birthDate, String gender) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.birthDate = birthDate;
this.gender = gender;
}
public Long getDbId() {
return dbId;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public Date getBirthDate() {
return birthDate;
}
public String getGender() {
return gender;
}
public Integer getAge() {
return Years.yearsBetween(new DateTime(birthDate), new DateTime()).getYears();
}
public void setDbId(Long dbId) {
this.dbId = dbId;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public void setBirthDate(Date birthDate) {
this.birthDate = birthDate;
}
public void setGender(String gender) {
this.gender = gender;
}
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
}
I have simply created another class: PersonRequest.java:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnore;
public class PersonRequest extends Person {
@Override
@JsonIgnore
public void setDbId(Long dbId) {
super.setDbId(dbId);
}
}
RequestMapping looks simply like:
@RequestMapping(value = "/KVFirstCare/application", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ApplicationResult application(@RequestBody List<PersonRequest> persons,
HttpServletResponse response) {
}
Works like charm :)
Unfortunately having different request and response models is not supported currently in springfox. The current thought is that we might support this feature using @JsonView in the future.
