Suggest a fix/enhancement

The generated model is

import { BigDecimal } from './bigDecimal';

export interface Response { 
    propA?: BigDecimal;
    propB?: BigDecimal;
}

And it is invalid (bigDecimal is not defined). The generated model should be:

export interface Response { 
    propA?: number;
    propB?: number;
}

I have not tested it yet, but I believe the fix for this would be to add
typeMapping.put("BigDecimal", "number");

in the file

modules/swagger-codegen/src/main/java/io/swagger/codegen/languages/AbstractTypeScriptClientCodegen.java

where it says:

        typeMapping = new HashMap<String, String>();
        typeMapping.put("Array", "Array");
        typeMapping.put("array", "Array");
        typeMapping.put("List", "Array");
        typeMapping.put("boolean", "boolean");
        typeMapping.put("string", "string");

Until a fix is officially released, a quick workaround could be to create a bigDecimal.ts file containing the type definition as alias of number:

export type BigDecimal = number;

Obviously you have to add the file each time you generate the code... annoying but working.

Same happened for golang server generation
