Parameter display does not display arrays of models properly

[whitlockjc]

Whenever you have an array of models and the schemas items are a reference, instead of Array[ReferencedType] you get Array[Reference] in the parameter display. So for example, the following parameter schema:

// ...
{
  name: 'testing',
  in: 'body',
  schema: {
    type: 'array',
    items: {
      $ref: '#/definitions/Person'
    }
  }
}
// ...

results in a display of Array[#/definitions/Person] instead of Array[Person].

This was original reported from domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle/issues/200.

As noted elsewhere this behavior can also be observed in http://petstore.swagger.io/#!/user/createUsersWithArrayInput - parameter "body" is shown as "Array[#/definitions/User]"

Once it is fixed, will it only be shown as "Array[User]", or will there be a way to expand it to see the definition of User?

Thanks!

@ponelat So is this fixed after merging #381?

[ponelat]

@whitlockjc Yes it works in the latest develop_2.0 now.
@beryozad Arrays of models will render the JSON as expandable, something like....

[
  {
     "your": "model here",
      "...": "..."
  }
]

[whitlockjc]

What about parameters? When you see a parameter that is an array of models, inline or referenced, does it show Array[SomeDefinition] or Array[#/definitions/SomeDefinition]?

[ponelat]

It wouldn't show a string signature but an expandable widget(lack of a better word?)
Like so.... (Note on the right)

[whitlockjc]

That's correct. I think it showed the string version because it wasn't typed right but it seems you've fixed this. Thanks a lot.
