Description
When a model uses allOf
, where some of the referenced models do not have a discriminator (hence, do not denote any hierarchy), the target interface just gets all properties copied from the referenced models, no interface inheritance/extending involved.
However, the base interfaces are still imported into the file with the target model - despite being unused.

Command line used for generation
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/local openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate \
-i /local/spec.yaml \
-g typescript-angular \
-o /local/generated
Steps to reproduce
- Run a command above, providing a spec file with allOf
- Check
model/responseOnePlus.ts
.It will looks like this:
import { ExtraFields } from './extraFields';
import { ResponseOnePlusAllOf } from './responseOnePlusAllOf';
export interface ResponseOnePlus {
extraField?: string;
ownField?: string;
}
Both imports here are not used.

Suggest a fix
The fixes for linked axios and rxjs generators above change the approach for generating a target interface: instead of copying all properties from the source interfaces into the target one, the target type is simply defined as type intersection.
Perhaps we should consider doing the same for typescript-angular (and probably other typescript generators that emit each model in a separate file with imports).
Note that the above mentioned fixes apply the same approach both with or without discriminator
, thus erasing the semantic difference between them (hierarchy vs composition)
