Swagger-codegen: [php] property of number type incorrectly typed as BigDecimal instead of float

[karser]

Description

When a schema as some properties of number type, they are typed as BigDecimal instead of number in the exported model. In php it must be float.

Swagger-codegen version

v3.0.7

Swagger declaration file content or url

The schema can be taken from a similar issue https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/issues/8855

here is a part of my schema:

Command line used for generation

java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
   -i http://127.0.0.1:8980/swagger.json \
   -l php \
   -o .

Steps to reproduce

the result will be

class Price {
    protected static $swaggerTypes = [
        'currency' => 'string',
        'value' => 'BigDecimal'  
    ];

And it will throw an error Class 'BigDecimal' not found

float must be used instead of BigDecimal

Any estimate when this will be available on swaggerhub.com CodeGen? Currently the PHP output is generated by Swagger Codegen version: 3.0.9 and this issue still exists, so we need to fix the generated client by hand every time we export it.

@bkonetzny this can be automated though

sed -i -- 's/BigDecimal/float/g' lib/Model/*.php
sed -i -- 's/BigDecimal/float/g' lib/Api/*.php

It can be correct by use of --type-mappings BigDecimal=float

java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
   -i http://127.0.0.1:8980/swagger.json \
   -l php \
   --type-mappings BigDecimal=float \
   -o .
