I see issues 808, but I don't think I should modify Gorm's source code to add "swagger type"

@ruanhailiang I'm afraid we can't help you if you don't use/fill the bug template so we can use a use case example.

I have the same probleme using the web framework fiber. My struct model was like that,

type Movie struct {
    title    string `json:"title"`
    tagline  string `json:"tagline"`
    released int    `json:"released"`
}

then I put like that,

type Movie struct {
    Title    string `json:"title"`
    Tagline  string `json:"tagline"`
    Released int    `json:"released"`
}

Well, this is a code design pattern problem, not a swag problem. (You are exposing to the API some data that you are not in control of and this may lead to wrong output when external package API definitions may change)

Solution: You can use a DTO pattern to solve this issue.
Why: In real-life applications, you don't want to expose your database structure directly to the API for various security reasons so this pattern may be a good approach.

Wow thank you! This worked for me.
