swagger date field vs date-time field

Question

I am using swagger to test my rest api, one of the property of my entity class is a date field for which I need the date in yyyy-mm-dd format , but swagger model schema is s

Answer 1

My team mate has found the fix. We needed to upgrade the springfox version to 2.3.0 , previously we were using springfox 2.2.2 version. In that old version swagger's @ApiModelPreporty has attribute called "example" which was not doing anything. From the version 2.3.0 version this "example" started working. So after we upgraded the springfox version to 2.3.0 , all we had to do is as shown below.

@ApiModelProperty(required = true,example = "2016-01-01")
@JsonFormat(pattern = DATE_FORMAT)
private LocalDate date;
