Default model example in Swashbuckle (Swagger)

Question

I\'m running ASP WebAPI 2 and successfully installed Swashbuckle. I am trying to figure out how one defines what the default schema values are?

For example, on the S

I know this thread is quite old, but I wanted to share my solution which creates a custom constructor just for the Swagger example schema.

In my model:

/// 

/// Supply a custom constructor for Swagger where you can apply defaults to control the example schema.  
/// The constructor must have one parameter of type System.Reflection.ParameterInfo[].
/// Note: Setting a property to null will prevent it from showing in the Swagger example.
/// 
System.Reflection.ParameterInfo[].
/// 
public class SwaggerConstructor : Attribute { }

In SwaggerConfig.cs:

c.SchemaFilter();

The schema extension:

    public class ApplySchemaVendorExtensions : ISchemaFilter
{
    public void Apply(Schema schema, SchemaRegistry schemaRegistry, Type type)
    {
        ConstructorInfo constructor = type.GetConstructors().FirstOrDefault(c => c.GetCustomAttribute() != null);
        if (constructor != null)
        {
            schema.example = constructor.Invoke(new object[] { constructor.GetParameters() });
        }
    }
}

Usage:

    [SwaggerConstructor]
    public MyClass(System.Reflection.ParameterInfo[] decoy) : base()
    {
        MyProperty = false;
    }
