[Typescript Axios] Type annotations are escaping special characters

[adamhari]

Description

I am using the typescript-axios preset to generate the API client. The generated code is using HTML escaping which is causing certain type annotations, particularly ones which use special characters, to not get recognized by Typescript in my client codebase.

Below is what the outputted client code looks like:

export interface ServerpbInvoice {
    /**
     * @inject_tag: validate:\"required\"
     * @type {Array<ServerpbInvoiceItems>}
     * @memberof ServerpbInvoice
     */
    items: any;
    ...
}

Swagger-codegen version

3.0.23

Swagger declaration file content or url

{
    ...
    "definitions": {
        "serverpb.Invoice": {
            "type": "object",
            "required": [
                ...
            ],
            "properties": {
                ...
                "items": {
                    "description": "@inject_tag: validate:\"required\"",
                    "type": "array",
                    "items": {
                        "$ref": "#/definitions/serverpb.InvoiceItems"
                    }
                },
            }
        }
    }
    ...
}

Command line used for generation

swagger-codegen generate -i docs/swagger.json -l typescript-axios -o ./generated

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the command described above to generate an API client
2. Reference a property with escaped special characters in the type annotation
3. Run the Typescript compiler

A Similar issue I have also encountered, I also notice in addition that, it is not even generating models with correct static typing everything defined as : anyunderneath it.

Same issue in TypeScript Angular. I get autogenerated types like Array<string> | Map;
