Description

Generation produces a compiler error because Map<String, Object> attributes are deserialized with Object.mapFromJson method that doesn't exist:

class Post {
  
  Map<String, Object> customData;
  
  static Post fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => json == null
    ? null
    : Post(
        title: json[r'title'],
        customData: json[r'customData'] == null
          ? null
          : Object.mapFromJson(json[r'customData']),
    );
  
}

Suggest a fix

I found that adding Object as a primitive type in modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/languages/AbstractDartCodegen.java:114 produces the correct behaviour:

languageSpecificPrimitives = Sets.newHashSet(
                "Object", // added as a primitive type
                "String",
                "bool",
                "int",
                "num",
                "double",
                "dynamic"
        );

And generated model:

class Post {
  
  Map<String, Object> customData;
  
  static Post fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => json == null
      ? null
      : Post(
          title: json[r'title'],
          customData: json[r'customData'] == null
              ? null
              : (json[r'customData'] as Map).cast<String, Object>(),
        );
  
}
