Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I have to write my own tests based on a given OpenAPI Spec with already valid example responses.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would be pretty great if the openapi-generator would create some ExUnit Tests based on the given examples or even create some own test data based on the given type.

Additional context

Something with https://github.com/PSPDFKit-labs/bypass would be great, this would also allow us to run the tests against a non-mock server to validate the response.

Maybe https://github.com/igas/faker could also come in handy

Research direction

Start by reviewing the OpenAPI specification examples and the requested ExUnit output, then compare the possible Bypass and Faker approaches mentioned in the issue. Done means generated ExUnit tests cover valid example responses or generated data from the schema, with an option to run against a non-mock server.
