Boolean body parameters are not sent when `false`

Description

When a body parameter is of type boolean and is false, then parameter does not get sent to the server.

Swagger-codegen version

2.2.2

Swagger declaration file content or url

Example parameter:

      parameters:
        - name: approved
          in: body
          required: true
          description: Whether to approve or disapprove the entity.
          schema:
            type: boolean

If approved is set as true, then the call works perfectly. Otherwise, it fails, since the code (in ApiClient.js in the function callApi) contains the following:

    } else if (bodyParam) {
      request.send(bodyParam);
    }

Of course, bodyParam is false, so it is not sent.

Command line used for generation

java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i ../swagger.yaml -l javascript --additional-properties usePromises=true

Steps to reproduce

Use this Swagger definition:

  /approve:

    post:
      parameters:
        - name: approved
          in: body
          required: true
          schema:
            type: boolean

and see the generated call. Try to use it with both approved as true and as false.

Suggest a Fix

If there is a body parameter defined in the swagger definition, always send it. Except, perhaps, if it is undefined.

Start with ApiClient.js and the callApi function identified in the issue, then reproduce the generated JavaScript client from the provided Swagger definition with both true and false body values. Done means a false boolean body is sent to the server while an undefined body remains omitted.
