VisualizaçõesPass array as query parameter in Swagger OpenApi 3.0
Ive currently given the below code to get an array of values as query paramters (in Node-express, nodejs v14.17 and OpenAPI version 3.0.1),
- name: abcd
description: abcd
in: query
required: false
schema:
type: array
items:
type: string
but it send the req as an array of values(type is object) only if there are atleast two of them. For a single value, the type is string.How to always get req as array itself?
For example,
if i give a single value say "Hello",
console.log(typeof(req.query["abcd"]),req.query["abcd"])
O/P: string Hello
but if i give "Hello" and "World",
O/P: object ['Hello','World']

As this answer explains, when a query parameter gets passed a single value, e.g. ?abcd=hello, Express parses it as a regular value (i.e. string) rather than an array.
To pass a one-value array, you need to append [] at the end of the query parameter name, i.e. ?abcd[]=hello. This means you need to change the parameter name in your OpenAPI file:
- name: abcd[] # <------------
description: abcd
in: query
required: false
schema:
type: array
items:
type: string
