Why I have to access params through req.swagger.params

Hi,

Just as the question says. Is there a way that in express this could be like it normally works req.params in some type of config?

There's a mismatch considering req.params in express don't have validation. What would happen for parameters that aren't valid?

[osukaa]

Parameters should be validated by a middleware before it goes into the endpoint handler. Which is what swagger-node is doing but it's not populating the standard req.params.

Right. But some parameters might be invalid. In addition, some might be required but allowed to be null. These possibilities can't be handled by the simple req.params key/value structure that express has.
