Custom List Models

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I have a question on how to customise response types in AutoRest.

Our API returns a type PagedResponse<T> for rest methods. It’s a custom list that includes the total items and pages etc. When a method in our RestAPI returns this, AutoRest is creating a new implementation for each return type.

E.g. PagedResponse<SomeItem> gets a return type called PagedResponseSomeItem PagedResponse<AnotherItem> gets a return type called PagedResponseAnotherItem

Is there anyway to get AutoRest to use a generic implementation?

We’re using the CSharp code generator.

Thanks in advance.

Fantastic! That seems to have worked. Quick look at the models and they’ve generated correctly, will update once I’ve actually tested the client deserialise.

Thank you once again (both of you).

Hi, do you plane something other than this workaround ?
