Feature Request: create factory method for instantiating OpenAPI models

[mironbalcerzak]

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

Using any schema, do generate models, we get following (example):

export interface User {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  address: Address;
}

export interface Address {
  street: string;
  city: string;
}

What were you expecting to happen?

Beside interface, getting a factory method (naive approach)

export function createUser() {
  return {
    name: '',
    age: 0,
    address: createAddress(),
  };
}

export function createAddress() {
  return {
    street: '',
    city: '',
  };
}

Naturally, all primitive types should be handled, re complex (other schema types) - we should discuss on how to handle "relationship"

Motivation

Initializing state in react components is very tedious work

What versions are you using?

Package Version: 6.27.1

Could be another possibility for the mocking maybe?

@anymaniax uhm - mocking with the schema that i use is throwing an error... so i am not sure what "mocking" exactly does :) (will debug and fix soon-ish).

as per what i understand, "mocks" are generated against service layer though..

This one is meant to be used as a convenient way of creating ready-to-go objects (-> useState(createAddress());
