Model not found

[assisgui]

Hello,

I've separate my models in many .ts files (all of them in a directory called models), each model in his .ts file.
when I start the server, only the models that are in first .ts file are charged.

There is any configuration to accept many files?

        required : true
    }) email: string;

                    Bearer : {
                        type : 'apiKey',
                        in : 'header',
                        name : 'Authorization'
                    }
                },
                basePath: '/api/v3'
            }
        }));

Can you help me?

I'm facing something similar. I have multiple .ts files in a folder, each containing a model.

Just one of the .ts files gets recognized as a model and appears in swagger.json.

Does anyone have a fix for this ?

Later edit:
A quick fix would be creating an index.ts file and exporting both files there:

import { component1} from './component1'
import { component2 } from './component2'

export { component1, component2 }

Bumping this- any resolution? Exporting from an index file didn't help.

this problem seems to be intermittent and has some scenarios were it recognizes the models in different files and some times it did not.
We find a workaround by importing the files where the api models are declared and import it near the begnning of the server file (the file where you start your express server).
It is something like this:
swagger-models.registration.ts
// the file that will hold all models references

import 'path/to/file/with/api-model1.ts'
import 'path/to/file/with/api-model2.ts'
import 'path/to/file/with/api-model3.ts'
...

server.ts
// the file with your express server setup

import 'swagger-models.registration.ts'

I'm not sure if this is a good or secure solution, but seens to fix the issue. Any thoughts on this?

To be honest I started using [nestjs] (https://nestjs.com/) a long time ago.. A lot of these issues have been resolved haha
