Customize JSON Schema for Value object properties [DATAREST-1178]

Patrik Mihalcin opened DATAREST-1178 and commented

When I use value objects in my domain model, I usually unwrap properties using @JsonUnwrapped.
This actually leads to inconsistency between generated JSON schema and serialized JSON response. Schema contains object properties with reference to definitions, so it is required to flatten out JSON schema on the client.

My current workaround is to use, what is not ideal:

@Override
public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
	MetadataConfiguration metadataConfiguration = config.getMetadataConfiguration();
	metadataConfiguration.registerFormattingPatternFor("value-object", Description.class);
	super.configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(config);
}

I think this could be improved
