dateType

Type: string | Required

Specifies how to handle date/datetime fields in the generated code.

Usage

// openapi.config.ts
import { GeneratorConfig } from 'ng-openapi';

const config: GeneratorConfig = {
  options: {
    dateType: 'Date' // or 'string'
  },
  ... // other configurations
};

export default config;

Supported Options

'Date' (Default)

Generates date objects with automatic transformation for date and datetime fields.

interface Event {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  date: Date; // Automatically transformed to Date object
}

'string'

Generates string types for date and datetime fields without any transformation.

interface Event {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  date: string; // No transformation, just a string
}

Notes

• Using 'Date' generates an HTTP Interceptor that automatically transforms date strings to Date objects
• The interceptor is included by default unless disabled in the provider configuration
