[REQ] Possibility to remove service name from method name

[angelaki]

Just like probably many out there I needed to add the endpoint name to the operationId (OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#381) to keep them unique.

Having two services (e.g. Service1 & Service2) both having a method "get" I get two operationIds (e.g. Service1_get & Service2_get).

The prefix (Service1_, Service2_) is totally useless but requred by OpenAPI. Now the service clients will get generated like

Service1 {
   Service1_get() { ... }
}

Service2 {
   Service2_get() { ... }
}

Is there maybe a possibility already to make both the methods just get named "get()"? Any ideas on this?

I am working on this for the python-experimental client in: #13007
One will be able to use it like:

from package.paths import PathValues
from package.apis.path_to_api import path_to_api
path_enum = PathValues("some/path")
api = path_to_api[path_enum]
# api has .post/put/patch etc methods on it

@spacether or anyone else here having this issue ... Any news / ideas on this?

@angelaki have you tried the operationIdNameMappings option to match the operationId to whatever method name you want?

[angelaki]

Thats a great idea! But I'd need some kind of replace / regex, since I have several of Methods!

[wing328]

ok. have you tried the --remove-operation-id-prefix option?

[angelaki]

Works like a charm - thank you very much! What exactly does this option do? The docs aren't very transparent here. Does it look for a specific character? Or a name being repeated with every method?

remove operationId prefix (e.g. user_getName => getName)
