Why are response models private?

[VadimKulagin]

I want to use API response models from other packages, but for some reason they are now generated privately (their names begin with a small letter):

type getFirstPetResponse struct {
	Body         []byte
	HTTPResponse *http.Response
	JSON200      *Pet
}

Why are they private?

Can you provide the swagger spec you are using?

I've just hit this issue too. It can be seen in the petstore example client https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/blob/master/examples/petstore-expanded/petstore-client.gen.go with the FindPetsWithResponse:

func (c *ClientWithResponses) FindPetsWithResponse(ctx context.Context, params *FindPetsParams) (*findPetsResponse, error) {...}

My use case is to code generate into a package in the internal directory and then import this into a public package. I want to define the interface to the generated ClientWithResponses code in the consuming public package but can't due to the private response. Currently I manually create the ClientWithResponses interface in the same package as the generated codegen. There's probably a few solutions:

• Modify the response signature and make the response objects public. It would be a breaking change though and probably need a major version bump.
• Auto generate a ClientWithResponsesInterface as is already done for the client with the ClientInterface

This is no longer an issue and can be closed: https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/blob/master/examples/petstore-expanded/petstore-client.gen.go#L425
