I'd like to generate enum properties as string but when I use the NSwagStudio or Unchase OpenApi extension for VS2019 for generating C# client code, there is no specific property to do this. In the properties file ConnectedServices.json there are these fields:

  "typeNameGeneratorType": null,
  "propertyNameGeneratorType": null,
  "enumNameGeneratorType": null,

As last chance I'd like to implement my custom enumNameGeneratorType but I cannot find any documentation on the web.

The swagger.json file contains this enum:

"status": {
  "type": "string",
  "description": "The status of the item",
  "example": "Open",
  "enum": [
    "Open"
  ]
}

Unless there is an automated way, I would not want to modify the swagger.json before importing it, as it is provided by a vendor. Is there any way to achieve this?

May I ask why you need enums to be strings? What is the goal here? – AndrewSilver Nov 23 '21 at 13:24

@AndrewSilver yes I'd need enums to be strings – Marco Di Scala Nov 24 '21 at 11:58
@AndrewSilver Commonly it's because string represented enums are more semantic. It's largely the whole purpose of having an Enum instead of an int. They communicate more meaning for human maintainers. – Joshua Enfield Nov 03 '22 at 16:39
