support faker for API schemas about orval HOT 6 OPEN

@karlismelderis-mckinsey

The generateEachHttpStatus option allows you to generate each http response that you define as a schema within OpenAPI. Does it solve your question?

from orval.

I think this is similar to #1318, do you have any use case outside of when an endpoint returns a oneOf response? The linked pr solves that use case in the next release

from orval.

our use-case is testing of BE services
we can easily reuse faker data for plenty of service code tests and in rare cases where Schema is missing we can always inject required schema to generate faker

Beauty of our situation is that we are attaching Swagger decorators to every key out of the box due to reusable decorators within our code and even internal data structures end up having Swagger schema if needed

but because tests don't think about Request/Response it would be very weird for back-end developers to use getShoppingCartControllerGetByIdResponseMock instead of shoppingCartDtoMock

from orval.

Also currently Orval is generating only faker code for Response but many our test cases would benefit from access to request mock

that would allow us to replace huge pile of static test data with generated faker code

@karlismelderis-mckinsey
well, i don't think about backend testing. I wanna more understand, so could you show me some sample code for testing ?

from orval.

Let's narrow down the scope for our ask

if Orval can generate faker code to cover Request Schema that will help us to generate data for e2e/black-box tests

anything we need for integration/unit tests we will solve differently not to couple things up to much
