How to set default values into Swagger form

[frankmehlhop]

Hi,

I have a Swagger ui and a C# Controller with a GET.

Tha GET need's a json File as atribute.
Each time I will test my Api I have to write surtain values into the form (json).
Because it is allways the same value, I would like to have a prefilled field.

How can I set default values into this Swagger form?
Thanks for help.
Frank

Hi Frank.

I think you need to use the example property. 

parameters:
  - in: query
    name: status
    schema:
      type: string
      enum: [approved, pending, closed, new]
      example: approved  

You can find more information in this link:

Have a nice day.

Thanks for your Reply!
But I'm not looking for examples, I'm looking for default values.
This I find here: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/describing-parameters/
And also I have no idea how to implement this (also this linked example with exaples) in the C# Rest Api controller.

        public IActionResult Get(MetaDataRequest json)
        { ...
