kotlinlang

Good-day guys,
So i'm using openapi to generate some kotlin-client code,
however i want to be able to use the models as Entity for android ROOM, is there a way to go around this?

The models are data classes so i can't extend them

Not to my knowledge... When I used OpenAPI in the past we typically mapped the objects generated by the tool into ones we had had control over which would then be used to persist locally

Even if it is possible, I would be cautious as the spec changing could result in the entity changing which would require a migration anyway

Thanks for your response....
So this is somewhat correct?

```@Entity(tableName = "deliveries")
data class DeliveryEntity(val delivery: Delivery)```
Where `Delivery` is the generated model
<@UFX608MK7>

I don't think `Delivery` is a valid data type for SQLite

But the basic idea is correct though... I would probably make the primary constructor a secondary one, the primary one would have the relevant values from `Delivery` as properties

So something like...

```@Entity(tableName = "person")
data class PersonEntity(val firstName: String, val lastName: String) {
    constructor(person: Person) : this(person.firstName, person.lastName)
}```

I think for `Delivery` it can be an `@Embedded` type for SQLite, however i'm yet to try it out..

However, i think your solution is quite cleaner, aside that i have to write so much properties for the PersonEntity which already exist in Person...

Embedded would work, but it'd essentially put you in the same spot as just making the generated model an Entity. If the spec changes you'll need to do a database migration (or allow for the database to be cleared on upgrade).
