swagger-ui input text box for body parameters of type string is unusable

Specs

• Swagger spec version 2.0
• Swagger-UI docker image swaggerapi/swagger-ui v3.0.5 . a228b9ff44b6

Problem

I have some older endpoints which accept newline delimited strings which I’m trying define in a swagger spec.

The spec looks like this:

post: {
  tags: [
    "NLP"
  ],
  summary: "",
  description: "NLP parse one or more sentences passed in the body of the request",
  operationId: "postNLPParse",
  consumes: [
    "text/plain: charset=utf8"
  ],
  produces: [
    "application/json; charset=utf8"
  ],
  parameters: [
    {
      name: "sentences",
      in: "body",
      description: "Newline delimited sentences",
      required: true,
      schema: {
        type: "string"
      },
    }
  ],
  responses: {
    200: {
      description: "Success",
      schema: {
        $ref: "#/definitions/nlpResponse"
      }
    }
  }
}

Desired solution

Ideally, I would like to be able to edit the string sent as the body in the swagger-ui for testing and demonstration. However the input text box will not allow spaces or newlines and treats the input as if it should be a JSON object ( forces the first character to be a ‘{’ ). Is there anything I can modify in the spec to get around this limitation?

Apologies if this has been addressed somewhere already, I’ve searched for it and can’t find it.

I’ll update my swagger-ui to 3.0.14 and try it.

I see it now, thanks @davidmfrey 😄
