How to customize swagger codegen to generate models that ignore null values

I'm using swagger-codgen to generate java model classes for my spring boot application and serialize them as json. By default these models would all include optional properties with null values.

I would like to configure the swagger-codgen for spring to include this annotation on top of all classes: @JsonInclude(Include.NON_NULL) so that null valued properties are not included in the serialized json.

How can i achieve this? Is there a configuration option or do i have to extend the spring codegen manually?

Solution

  • You can configure that in your application.yaml :

    spring:
   jackson:
      default-property-inclusion: NON_NULL
