Description
I used the TypeScript Axios generator, which claims to support Date/DateTime. Looking at the generated code it's clearly it does not. It does no transformation of the data returned from the server over what Axios does so date time string don't get converted to Date objects.
openapi-generator version
6.0.1. Doesn't seem to be a regression.
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
Propertriatary but here's a sample of a date time field:
"Channel": {
"description": "A channel with project data.",
"properties": {
"created_at": {
"format": "date-time",
"title": "Created At",
"type": "string"
},
"id": {
"title": "Id",
"type": "string"
},
},
"required": [
"created_at",
"id",
],
"title": "Channel",
"type": "object"
},
Generation Details
openapi-generator-cli generate -i ../backend/openapi.json -g typescript-axios -o ./generated/axios -c openapi-typescript-axios.config.json
The config just contains:
{
"modelPropertyNaming": "original"
}
Steps to reproduce
Use the generator with a date-time field.

Research direction
Start with the TypeScript Axios generator and reproduce the issue using the provided OpenAPI schema and openapi-generator-cli command. Trace how date-time response fields are handled in the generated client. Done means generated clients convert date-time response strings into Date objects as the generator documentation claims.
