Typescript – Query parameters with oneOf schemas are not built

[azan-n]

As part of my OpenAPI spec, I have multiple query parameters that are defined as the following:

"name": "createdAt",
"in": "query",
"description": "Date of creation",
"schema": {
  "oneOf": [
    {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Matches values that are equal to a specified value.",
      "format": "date-time"
    },
    {
      "type": "object"
    }
  ],
  "properties": {
    "createdAt[eq]": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Matches values that are equal to a specified value.",
      "format": "date-time"
    },
    "createdAt[ne]": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Matches values that are not equal to a specified value.",
      "format": "date-time"
    },
    "createdAt[gt]": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Matches values that are greater than a specified value.",
      "format": "date-time"
    },
    "createdAt[gte]": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Matches values that are greater than or equal to a specified value.",
      "format": "date-time"
    },
    "createdAt[lt]": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Matches values that are less than a specified value.",
      "format": "date-time"
    },
    "createdAt[lte]": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Matches values that are less than or equal to a specified value.",
      "format": "date-time"
    }
  }
}

The Kiota-generated client for Typescript does not account for these. I'd be happy to submit a PR if needed.

Hi @azan-n,
Thanks for using kiota and for reaching out.
There are a couple of things happening here.
First off, union types are not yet supported for typescript as covered in #1812
Then, kiota in general (regardless of the language) doesn't project object query parameters as there's not consensus on how to serialize them.
Lastly, I think each of the properties in the description you've shared are meant to be query parameters of their own, and the current query parameter not be a union type but rather directly the first type of the oneOf.
Let us know if you have further questions.

Thank you so much for getting back @baywet.

I thought some more about the issue after posting and I had come to the same conclusion that we were probably complicating the query parameters in the spec for no good reason.

no worries. Is there anything additional here or can we close the issue?
