Nested items in responses for Objective-C

[GustavTaxen]

I'm failing to use Swagger to generate an Objective-C client that have nested items in the "200" response for a POST operation.

More specifically, my server responds to a certain POST operation with the following json data:

{
"collection_of_stuff": {
"entry_1": "some_string",
"entry_2": "another_string",
"entry_3": "yet_another_string"
}
}
I describe this in Swagger like this:

    "/foo/bar": {
        "post": {
            "tags": [
                "a_tag"
            ],
            "description": "some_description",
            "operationId": "some_id",
            "parameters": [
                {
                    "name": "a_parameter",
                    "in": "body",
                    "description": "Some parameter",
                    "required": true,
                    "schema": {
                        "$ref": "#/definitions/ParametersIn"
                    }
                }
            ],
            "responses": {
                "200": {
                    "description": "Successful request",
                    "schema": {
                        "type": "object",
                        "properties": {
                            "collection_of_stuff": {
                                "$ref": "#/definitions/Output"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                },
                "400": {
                    "description": "Bad request"
                },
                "401": {
                    "description": "Unauthorized"
                },
                "403": {
                    "description": "Forbidden"
                },
                "406": {
                    "description": "invalid Content-Type header."
                }
            }
        }
    },

...
"definitions": {
"Output": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"entry_1": {
"type": "string"
},
"entry_2": {
"type": "string"
},
"entry_3": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}

Both the online editor and codegen seems to accept this definition. But the generated Objective-C code looks like this:

// primitive response
        // primitive response type
return [client stringWithCompletionBlock: requestUrl 
                                          method: @"POST" 
                                     queryParams: queryParams 
                                            body: bodyDictionary 
                                    headerParams: headerParams
                              requestContentType: requestContentType
                             responseContentType: responseContentType
                                 completionBlock: ^(NSString *data, NSError *error) {
                     if (error) {
                         completionBlock(nil, error);
                         return;
                     }
                    NSObject *result = data ? [[NSObject  alloc]initWithString: data] : nil;
                    completionBlock(result, nil);
                 }];

In other words, the generated code doesn't parse the response at all - it tries to initialize an anonymous NSObject with the raw json string. (Which produces a compilation error.)

For codegen, inline schema is not supported at the moment. Please refer to #354 and #730 for more information.

To workaround the issue, you can avoid defining the inline schema by defining the model (object) in the definitions section

Will be resolved when 9508579 is merged to master

Nested items are supported now. Please reopen if you have any questions.
