allowMultiple not working with Swagger UI?

[gbisaga]

Hi, I am wondering if allowMultiple is a working (or recommended) way to document an API using swagger UI. I am creating a new API that originally used a repeating query string parameter to support rails/PHP/HTML style (http://server/resource?foo[]=a&foo=b).

Then I found this was not supported in Swagger, so I changed it to use allowMultiple and comma-separated syntax (http://server/resource?foo=a,b).

So, I documented my API:

                  {
                     "name":"geography",
                     "description":"Geography values to return",
                     "required":false,
                     "type":"integer",
                     "paramType":"query",
                     "allowMultiple":true
                  },

But the swagger UI only displays a single text box. I have tried putting a space and a comma in the input field, but swagger UI URL encodes these and passes them. Is there any way to make the UI either display multiple boxes or (more likely) understand a separator string?

you need to specify the allowable values. Can you please look at this sample:

http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com/#!/pet/findPetsByStatus

and the associated json:

{
  "parameters": [
    {
      "name": "status",
      "description": "Status values that need to be considered for filter",
      "defaultValue": "available",
      "required": true,
      "type": "string",
      "paramType": "query",
      "allowMultiple": true,
      "enum": [
        "available",
        "pending",
        "sold"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
