Model Properties - Default Values

Hi, First of all, brilliant work. I’m new to Swagger and Swashbuckle made life very easy for us to integrate into our API, a few well written comments later and we’re good.

We are facing one minor issue in which our models assume default values which don’t look that appealing. See the image attached.

Is there a way to specify a default value for model properties? I have had no luck using default value attributes so far e.g.

[System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue("My Default String Value")]
public string Value { get; set; }

Is Swashbuckle available for EclipseEE?

This extension of @AndyPook’s code also flags optional parameters as "required": false in the Swagger file, as well as including the default value.

public class UpdateOptionalParamatersWithDefaultValues : IOperationFilter
{
	public void Apply(Operation operation, SchemaRegistry schemaRegistry, ApiDescription apiDescription)
	{
		if (operation.parameters == null)
			return;

		var parameterValuePairs =
			apiDescription.ActionDescriptor.GetParameters()
				.Where(parameter => parameter.DefaultValue != null)
				.ToDictionary(parameter => parameter.ParameterName, parameter => parameter.DefaultValue);

		foreach (var param in operation.parameters)
		{
			object defaultValue;
			if (parameterValuePairs.TryGetValue(param.name, out defaultValue))
			{
				param.@default = defaultValue;
				param.@required = false;
			}
		}
	}
}
