Mustache template variables in the model

To obtain a list of variables (tags) available in the mustache template. Please use debugOperations and debugModels. Heres is an example for variables in the model templates:

java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate \
  -i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
  -g csharp --global-property debugModels=true 

and here is part of the output:

############ Model info ############
[ {
  "model" : {
    "name" : "Order",
    "classname" : "Order",
    "classVarName" : "Order",

    }, {

Mustache template variables in the operation

For operation (resource) templates, please use debugOperations instead:

java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate \
  -i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
  -g csharp --global-property debugOperations=true 

Here is part of the result

Usage

For usage of the template variable, enter the variable name (e.g. basePath) in the search box and submit. Then filter by HTML & Django under Languages, e.g. https://github.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/search?l=html%2Bdjango&q=basepath&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Tips

To access the first or last element in a list

{{#vars}}{{#-first}} this is the first element {{.}} {{/-first}}{{/vars}}
{{#vars}}{{#-last}} this is the last element {{.}} {{/-last}}{{/vars}}

Explanations

Here are the explanations for some of the mustache tags:

• complexType: stores the name of the model (e.g. Pet)
• isContainer: true if the parameter or property is an array or a map.
• isPrimitiveType: true if the parameter or property type is a primitive type (e.g. string, integer, etc) as defined in the spec.

Please feel free to update the list above with more tags. For any question, please open an issue.
