Description

Dart generator may have a problem dealing with a Map of Maps (something like Map<String, Map<String>>), here's a screenshot from a generated code:

There's no such thing as Map.mapFromJson (at least I couldn't find it in dart 1 or 2 docs), so maybe there's a problem with the generator template.

The problem may be here:

openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/dart2/class.mustache

Lines 149 to 152 in 4dc8d2a

	{{{name}}}: json['{{{baseName}}}'] == null
	? null
	: {{{complexType}}}.mapFromJson(json['{{{baseName}}}']),
	{{/items.isArray}}

I've removed the mapFromJson call from my template (copied today from the master) and I haven't found any issues with the dart analyzer.. but I haven't tested it in runtime either, so I'm not sure.

Another way to fix it could be to add the mapFromJson as an extension method for maps.. but I'm not sure how it would work

Fun fact (?): I've copied all the dart generator sources, converted them to kotlin and generated a client just to see if could fix the issue.. but the project is too complex for me to understand how/where that Map was generated, and I found out that some of my problems were solved yesterday on the templates 😆 (😢)
