Description

Description

openapi-generator version

Command line used for generation
-g typescript-fetch
additionalProperties=typescriptThreePlus=true,prefixParameterInterfaces=true

Example of generated GenericItemResponse.ts :

export interface GenericItemResponse {

     * @memberof GenericItemResponse
     */
    items: Array<MyType1> | Array<MyType2> | null;
    /**
     * 
     * @type {number}
     * @memberof GenericItemResponse
     */
    size: number;
}

export function GenericItemResponseFromJSONTyped(json: any, ignoreDiscriminator: boolean): GenericItemResponse {
    if ((json === undefined) || (json === null)) {
        return json;
    }
    return {
        
        'items': Array&lt;MyType1&gt; | Array&lt;MyType2&gt;FromJSON(json['items']),
        'size': json['size'],
