Description
AnyType is not defined in typescript generated code.
In some situations, schemas return any, this is handled in other languages where that is translated into something the language understands, examples:
Java: ObjectC#: `ObjectRust: serde_json:Value
However, this translation is not made for typescript, and the generators write AnyType in such situations, leading to type errors:
Cannot find name 'AnyType'
openapi-generator version
5.0.0-SNAPSHOT
OpenAPI declaration file content or url
The part that is causing troubles look like this:
"cat": {
"allOf": [
{
"$ref": "#/components/schemas/Cat"
},
{
"description": "Cat information"
}
]This was generated using @nestjs/swagger and the problem is that the generator is unable to understand the second part and that one ends in _AnyType_

/**NOTE: AnyType is not defined anywhere.
Suggest a fix
The proposal is simple, adding a translation for AnyType -> object for all the typescript generators. This can be achieved adding one line to AbstractTypeScriptCodegen.java like the ones we have in other generators:
typeMapping.put("AnyType", "Object");
