Description

I'm generating a typescript-fetch client using OpenAPI Generator 4.0.2. After running the generator, function stringToJSON is included in the output, but it is not defined.

openapi-generator version

4.0.2

Command line used for generation

node_modules/.bin/openapi-generator generate -g typescript-fetch -i ./openapi.json -o ./src

Steps to reproduce

I've created a gist that should help to reproduce the issue.

git clone https://gist.github.com/gk4m/67045978063c7e2caf97fc8725620d62 bug-report
cd bug-report
yarn install
yarn generate
yarn test

You should see the following output:

src/apis/DefaultApi.ts:44:46 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'stringToJSON'.

44             body: requestParameters.body.map(stringToJSON),

The source of the error can be found in src/apis/DefaultApi.ts which contains the following:

export interface TestPutRequest {
    body: Array<string>;
}

/**
 * no description
 */
export class DefaultApi extends runtime.BaseAPI {

    /**
     */
    async testPutRaw(requestParameters: TestPutRequest): Promise<runtime.ApiResponse<void>> {
        if (requestParameters.body === null || requestParameters.body === undefined) {
            throw new runtime.RequiredError('body','Required parameter requestParameters.body was null or undefined when calling testPut.');
        }

        const queryParameters: runtime.HTTPQuery = {};

        const headerParameters: runtime.HTTPHeaders = {};

        headerParameters['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';

        const response = await this.request({
            path: `/test`,
            method: 'PUT',
            headers: headerParameters,
            query: queryParameters,
            body: requestParameters.body.map(stringToJSON),
        });

        return new runtime.VoidApiResponse(response);
    }

    /**
     */
    async testPut(requestParameters: TestPutRequest): Promise<void> {
        await this.testPutRaw(requestParameters);
    }

}

Suggest a fix

Function stringToJSON should be added to generated file.
