FR: nested DTO / complex types

[PaulHendriks]

It'd be nice if a DTO could contain multiple levels.

For example:

#[OpenApiSchema]
class Nested
{
    public function __construct(
        #[OpenApiSchemaProperty(name: 'name')]
        public string   $name,
        #[OpenApiSchemaProperty(name: 'other', type: 'object')]
        public OtherDto $other
    )
    {
    }
}

At the moment such a class is rendered like this in the SwaggerUI:

OtherDto should also be able to contain multiple level, resulting in a json tree for a a request,

What exactly would this #[OpenApiSchemaProperty(name: 'other', type: 'object')] do? Are you literally just looking to have an empty object from this and nothing else?

[PaulHendriks]

I'd like to nest objects, so the schema would look like:

{
	"name": "some name",
	"other": {
		"nested": "child-node",
		"items": [
			{
				"identifier": "uuid-000-111-111",
				"grand-child": "infant",
			},
			{
				"identifier": "uuid-111-222-222",
				"grand-child": "infant2",
			},
		],
	}
}
