NestJS - Swagger - Show all enum values

Question

I would like to see all enums value about my dto's property in the body section of swagger UI.

I put this @ApiQuery decorator in my code:

@ApiQuery({
  name: 'name',
  enum: ENUM_NAME,
  isArray: true,
})
@Post()
async name(...):Promise<...> {...}

But this is used with @Query decorator to let the swagger's filter work. (Find in NestJS Swagger Doc).

So i did not put @Query in my code as you can see, because i want the enum's value in my dto.

This is the result

But it did not like this solution. it's a workaround.

There is a better way to achieve this result?

Answer 1

It is not possible in the body section of swagger to do as for the query section, but you can do like this:

// app.controller.ts

@Post()
public async name(@Body() dto: NameDto): Promise<void> {}

// name.dto.ts

// This is enum for demo
enum Demo {
    DEMO_1 = 'DEMO_1',
    DEMO_2 = 'DEMO_2',
}

export class NameDto {
    @ApiProperty({
        enum: Demo,
        isArray: true,
        example: [Demo.DEMO_1, Demo.DEMO_1],
    })
    public name: Demo[];
}

And the result =>

Or if you don't want dto used

// app.controller.ts

@Post()
@ApiBody({
    schema: {
       type: 'object',
         properties: {
            name: {
              type: 'array',
              items: {
                 enum: [Demo.DEMO_1, Demo.DEMO_2],
                 example: [Demo.DEMO_1, Demo.DEMO_2],
              },
            },
        },
    },
})
public async name(@Body() dto: any): Promise<void> {}
