How to change default schema of LocalDateTime in Swagger documentation using springdoc?

We use Spring Boot and https://springdoc.org/ to generate OpenApi documentation. We want to change default schema for LocalDateTime, so we don't have the same annotation every time LocalDateTime is used. So, I added:

    static { 
        SpringDocUtils.getConfig().replaceWithSchema(LocalDateTime.class, 
                new StringSchema().example("2021-07-05T10:35:17.000").pattern("\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}T\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}[.]\\d{3}")); 
    }

it worked. The issue is that now it's impossible to add custom description or example for specific field:

    @Schema(description = "important date") 
    private LocalDateTime aDate;

As you can see below description is missing in Swagger-UI: screenshot with missing description

Is it possible to fix? Is there another way to have default custom schema for LocalDateTime?

Solution

You could use OpenAPICustomerCustomiser

@Bean
public OpenApiCustomiser openAPICustomiser() {
    return openApi -> {
        openApi.getComponents().getSchemas().forEach((s, schema) -> {
            Map<String, Schema> properties = schema.getProperties();
            if (properties == null) {
                properties = Map.of();
            }
            for (String propertyName : properties.keySet()) {
                Schema propertySchema = properties.get(propertyName);
                if (propertySchema instanceof DateTimeSchema) {
                    properties.replace(propertyName, new StringSchema()
                            .example("2021-07-05T10:35:17.000")
                            .pattern("^\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}T\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}[.]\\d{3}$")
                            //copies original description
                            .description(propertySchema.getDescription()));
                }
            }
        });
    };
}
