Description

When trying to describe a schema with nested additionalProperties the generator generate a type where the nested element is an object and not the nested additionalProperties type.

openapi-generator version

stable 4.2.3

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

https://gist.github.com/HighSoftWare96/e55d9bbeac3621e241eb8ba4b11fbcd3
Actual output - This example generates a type like this:

servicesStatus?: { [key: string]: { [key: string]: object; }; };

but the expected output should be:

servicesStatus?: { [key: string]: { [key: string]: { available: boolean }; }; };
Command line used for generation

openapi-generator generate -i oas3.json -o sdk -g typescript-angular

Steps to reproduce
  • Create file oas3.json with the specified gist example
  • Generate the SDK with the command above

Trace how nested additionalProperties are represented during generation, then verify that the generated servicesStatus type preserves the nested { available: boolean } structure instead of using object.
