Incorrectly renders CamelCase in all views

[glujan]

In my app I'm using djangorestframework-camel-case only for some subset of views by setting their parser and renderer classes to CamelCaseJSONParser and CamelCaseJSONRenderer respectively. My default parser and renderer classes are set to JSONParser and JSONRenderer in my project settings.

It looks like using camelCase for just one view is causing drf-yasg to use camelCase in all views.

As you can see form the demo project, this is not generally the case. Only views with the parser and renderer you mentioned are converted. Thus it must be something more particular to your project, so please provide some details.

You should note however that due to the nature of OpenAPI and the current implementation of drf-yasg, if you use the same serializer in multiple views, where only some of them are camelCased, the Swagger model associated with that serializer will be camelCased everywhere. See also the note here. You can work around this by not using named Swagger models (setting ref_name to None on the serializer).

Thank you for detailed response.

I'm indeed reusing some serializers and your note about ref_name was what I was missing - setting it to None or to string to not clash with original serializer solves the issue.

Note: this also happens if I'm not reusing serializers but there is a name clash in across different Django applications. Setting different ref_name helps with those issues as well.

Maybe drf-yasg should show a warning about that or at least allow to prefix model name with app name.

Yeah, both of those seem reasonable.
