Default Values in a Body Parameter

[allenpsuner]

I have a request that takes a JSON body as a parameter. When I start up the service and pull up the UI, and look at the request, I notice that in the body some default values are imposed on the fields in the JSON body:

I want to take advantage of being able to click that UI element and auto-populating the "payload" text field, but those default parameters make me wary of exposing this feature to the users. Is there a way to set those default values for the fields in the JSON payload? Or maybe could I pass in an instance of that class to an attribute of the controller, something like:

[SwaggerDefaultValue(payload, new ExamplePayload)]
public IHttpActionResult ExampleAction(string id, ExamplePayload payload)
{
...
}

Where I set the default value of the parameter by it's name with a value I pass in? I apologize if this issue has been raised already before, but I didn't see anything like it already.

Checkout #283 - it details a solution to this problem via per-schema filters. In summary, you would create a schema filter specific to the type in question, which assigns the "default" property accordingly, and then wire it up as follows:

[SwaggerSchemaFilter(typeof(CustomerPayloadExamples))]
public class CustomerPayload
{
....

The thread in that issue is pretty long - start reading from here onwards: #283 (comment)
