Modify contentHeaders of Swagger Codegen methods in kotlin - rest

Question

I'm using swagger codegen for my REST API calls. For authentication purposes i need to send a session-token within the headers of every request. This is currently done, via APIClients' defaultHeaders
open class ApiClient(val baseUrl: String) {
companion object {
...
#JvmStatic
var defaultHeaders: Map<String, String> by ApplicationDelegates.setOnce(mapOf(ContentType to JsonMediaType, Accept to JsonMediaType))
...
}
}
The way swagger generates the code, these headers can only be modified once.
ApiClient.defaultHeaders += mapOf("Authorization" to userSession!!.idToken.jwtToken)
The problem with this is, that i cannot change the token (e.g. because another user logged in within the application lifetime). Looking deeper into the generated code, before each request is sent, a merge of both defaultHeaders and requestConfig.headers (=contentHeaders) is being made.
inline protected fun <reified T: Any?> request(requestConfig: RequestConfig, body : Any? = null): ApiInfrastructureResponse<T?> {
...
val headers = defaultHeaders + requestConfig.headers
...
}
The given RequestConfig object comes from every api call. However it is not possible to change these contentHeaders. Also they are empty by default.
fun someAPIRestCall(someParam: kotlin.String) : Unit {
val localVariableBody: kotlin.Any? = type
val localVariableQuery: MultiValueMap = mapOf()
val contentHeaders: kotlin.collections.Map<kotlin.String,kotlin.String> = mapOf() // THESE WILL BE MERGED WITH defaultHeaders
val acceptsHeaders: kotlin.collections.Map<kotlin.String,kotlin.String> = mapOf("Accept" to "application/json")
val localVariableHeaders: kotlin.collections.MutableMap<kotlin.String,kotlin.String> = mutableMapOf()
localVariableHeaders.putAll(contentHeaders)
localVariableHeaders.putAll(acceptsHeaders)
val localVariableConfig = RequestConfig(
RequestMethod.POST,
"someEndpointURL"),
query = localVariableQuery,
headers = localVariableHeaders // THESE WILL BE MERGED WITH defaultHeaders
)
val response = request<Unit>(
localVariableConfig,
localVariableBody
)
...
}
Is it possible to tell swagger-codegen to include some kind of parameter to the generated method signature to add values to those contentHeaders?
EDIT:
This is the current code-gen call within my gradle build chain
task generateSwagger(type: JavaExec) {
main = "-jar"
args "swagger-codegen-cli-2.4.7.jar", "generate", "-i", "./swagger_core.yml", "-l", "kotlin", "-o", "./tmp/RestApi", "--type-mappings", "number=kotlin.Long"
}

Answer 1

By now, i found a solution, that is more of a hack, but it works.
As i am using gradle to build the app, i introduced a task, that changes the generated swagger code, before it actually compiles.
task editAPISources {
def token = "Map<String, String> by ApplicationDelegates.setOnce(mapOf(ContentType to JsonMediaType, Accept to JsonMediaType))"
def value = "MutableMap<String, String> = mutableMapOf(ContentType to JsonMediaType, Accept to JsonMediaType)"
def file = new File("./app/tmp/RestApi/src/main/kotlin/io/swagger/client/infrastructure/ApiClient.kt")
def newConfig = file.text.replace(token, value)
file.write newConfig
}
The result is a now changeable header :=
#JvmStatic
var defaultHeaders: MutableMap<String, String> = mutableMapOf(ContentType to JsonMediaType, Accept to JsonMediaType)
