Is there a way to generate generic method with nswag?

Question

Im using nswag with a angular2 typescript application and would like to return a generic type or 'any' in typescript from the WebAPI:

public async Task<T> GetSomeInput(SomeInput input)
{
        if (input == "Car")
        {
            var result = await _repository.GetAsync<Car>(input);
            return result.MapTo<CarDto>();
        }

         if (input == "Bike")
        {
            var result = await _repository.GetAsync<Bike>(input);
            return result.MapTo<BikeDto>();
        }
   }

So in the angular side i make the cast. Is there a way to do that?

If you use the full stack of nswag (swagger and code gen) you can just define the response as object and it should be typed as any in typescript.

Actually a tried it, and swagger seems to make it a void method. – gog Apr 26 '17 at 12:27
Can you post a sample controller? – Rico Suter Apr 26 '17 at 18:16
Btw: NSwag also supports inheritance with a base class – Rico Suter Apr 26 '17 at 20:09
the example is the same in the OP but returning Task – gog Apr 26 '17 at 21:03
And the swagger spec is generated by nswag? – Rico Suter May 04 '17 at 22:09
