Remove nested relations from API explorer (swagger) - loopbackjs

Question

I have Application model with following relation:
#belongsTo(() => Ido)
idoId: string;
export interface ApplicationRelations {
ido?: IdoWithRelations;
}
export type ApplicationWithRelations = Application & ApplicationRelations;
Application repository looks like this:
export class ApplicationRepository extends DefaultCrudRepository<
Application,
typeof Application.prototype.id,
ApplicationRelations
> {
public readonly user: BelongsToAccessor<
User,
typeof Application.prototype.id
>;
constructor(
#inject('datasources.db') dataSource: DbDataSource,
#repository.getter('UserRepository')
protected userRepositoryGetter: Getter<UserRepository>,
) {
super(Application, dataSource);
this.user = this.createBelongsToAccessorFor('user', userRepositoryGetter);
this.inclusionResolvers.delete('ido');
}
}
And the following relation in IDO model:
#hasMany(() => Application)
applications: Application[];
In post /ido in swagger i am getting this example for creating:
{
"applications": [
{
"status": "string",
"createdAt": 0,
"idoId": "string",
"userId": "string",
"ido": {
"applications": [
{
"status": "string",
"createdAt": 0,
"idoId": "string",
"userId": "string",
"ido": {
"applications": [
"string"
],
}
Is there any ways to remove the duplicate and kind of curricular relation for ido in application from swagger? Or this doesn't really matter and i can just manually delete all fields above the first application?

OpenAPI/Swagger is at the REST layer, which means you'll need to look inside the respective REST Controller, which would have something similar to this:
#post('...')
function create(
#requestBody({
content: {
'application/json': {
schema: getModelSchemaRef(Application, {
title: 'NewApplication',
exclude: ['id'],
}),
},
},
})
)
You can modify it as such to exclude relations:
#post('...')
function create(
#requestBody({
content: {
'application/json': {
schema: getModelSchemaRef(Application, {
title: 'NewApplication',
exclude: ['id'],
+ includeRelations: false,
}),
},
},
})
)
An alternative is to use exclude.
