How to get Ogen to generate a map[string]any type?

[veqryn]

Right now in my OpenAPI yaml, we have a component with a field that is marked as type: object.
In all other OpenAPI code generators, this gets turned into map[string]any, letting us use this field for any key-value pairs (this is our desired goal).

How should we define our OpenAPI yaml so that we either get Ogen to generate a map[string]any, or get it to generate something effectively equivalent (allows arbitrary key-value pairs of anything).

You need to explictly define additionalProperties: true.

https://ogen.dev/docs/types/map#free-form-map

type: object
additionalProperties: true

Hm... that resulted in generating a map[string]jx.Raw, where jx.Raw is a []byte under the hood.
That is pretty hard to use. I'd have to manually json marshal every single property, rather than just setting them all and letting the whole thing be json marshalled.

Is there any option for a map[string]interface{} / map[string]any ?
Or even just an option for a any, where I can then use my own map?

No, currently there is no way to make ogen generate map[string]any. Feel free to fill in a feature request issue.
