Description

Attribute names that include upper case letters are not being converted to camel case correctly. This affectes model attributes, model names etc.

This can be demostrated through a lambda in a mustache template:

1. id {{#lambda.camelcase}}id{{/lambda.camelcase}}
2. ID {{#lambda.camelcase}}ID{{/lambda.camelcase}}
3. id_more {{#lambda.camelcase}}id_more{{/lambda.camelcase}}
4. ID_MORE {{#lambda.camelcase}}ID_MORE{{/lambda.camelcase}}

This results in:

1. id id
2. ID iD
3. id_more idMore
4. ID_MORE iDMORE

I believe 2 and 4 are wrong. For 2, the upper-case token should be treated as one word, so should be converted to lower case: “id”.

For 4, there are two words, but of which should be converted to lower case, then concatenated with the second work capitalised: “idMore”.

The model data supplied to the templates does the same conversion to an “ID” in the OpenAPI description, giving this:

{
      "openApiType" : "integer",
      "baseName" : "ID",  <<<
      "getter" : "getID",  <<<
      "setter" : "setID",  <<<
      "dataType" : "int",
      "datatypeWithEnum" : "int",
      "dataFormat" : "int32",
      "name" : "iD",  <<<
      ...
}

Here I would expect to see “ID”, “getId”, “setId” and “id”.

openapi-generator version

The latest CLI docker container openapitools/openapi-generator-cli

5.0.0-SNAPSHOT

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

This shows the same effect, in any mustache template you like:

1. id {{#lambda.camelcase}}id{{/lambda.camelcase}}
2. ID {{#lambda.camelcase}}ID{{/lambda.camelcase}}
3. id_more {{#lambda.camelcase}}id_more{{/lambda.camelcase}}
4. ID_MORE {{#lambda.camelcase}}ID_MORE{{/lambda.camelcase}}

Or any OpenAPI description with an UPPERCASE property name.

Command line used for generation

docker run --rm openapitools/openapi-generator-cli ...

I’m not a Java guy, and have tried and failed to set up an environment in the past, so can do nothing to help.

Is there a way to import a custom camel case lambda at runtime, and using that to produce desired conversion?

I have the same problem with the typescript-angular converter using the option "modelPropertyNaming": "camelCase": “VAT” becomes “vAT”, but I expected it to become “vat”.
