Add support for OpenAPI schema generation for POCOs #1087
Description
This is related to #836.
For certain native .NET types, it would be great if OpenAPI.NET could provide the authorative OpenApiSchema definitions for these types. Current prototypes maintain a dictionary like this:
private static readonly Dictionary<Type, Func<OpenApiSchema>> _primitiveTypeToOpenApiSchema =
new()
{
[typeof(bool)] = () => new OpenApiSchema { Type = "boolean" },
[typeof(byte)] = () => new OpenApiSchema { Type = "string", Format = "byte" },
[typeof(int)] = () => new OpenApiSchema { Type = "integer", Format = "int32" },
...
[typeof(DateTime)] = () => new OpenApiSchema { Type = "string", Format = "date-time" },
[typeof(DateTimeOffset)] = () => new OpenApiSchema { Type = "string", Format = "date-time" },
[typeof(Guid)] = () => new OpenApiSchema { Type = "string", Format = "uuid" },
[typeof(char)] = () => new OpenApiSchema { Type = "string" }
};And there a variety of open source packages/projects that maintain their own associations (see this, this, and this).
Since this is a finite set of mappings, it would be great if they would be centralized in the OpenAPI.NET package to avoid duplication and ambiguity about the right schemas to generate for different native types in .NET.
