Swagger-codegen: [typescript/angular2] error handling no checks out error codes...

@jeusdi HTTP status code 204 means "no content" (ref: https://httpstatuses.com/204), which explains why undefined is returned.

@wing328 My question was around: Why does codegen only takes care of one type of error response instead of taking @ApiResponses annotation content:

@ApiResponses(value = {
@ApiResponse(code = 400, message = "Specified 'username' already exists on Living Commty."),
@ApiResponse(code = 401, message = "Specified 'username' has no a valid mail form."),
@ApiResponse(code = 402, message = "Specified 'passwd' is too short.")
})

Moreover, what about exceptions thrown by create and exists methods:

@Path(value = "/users")
@Produces({"application/json"})
@Api(value = "/users")
public interface IUserCommtyEndpoint {

    @PUT
    @ApiOperation(value = "Add user")
    @ApiResponses(value = {
      @ApiResponse(code = 400, message = "Specified 'username' already exists on Living Commty."),
      @ApiResponse(code = 401, message = "Specified 'username' has no a valid mail form."),
      @ApiResponse(code = 402, message = "Specified 'passwd' is too short.")
    })
    public abstract Response create(
        @HeaderParam("user")
        @ApiParam(value = "username", required = true)
        @NotNull(message = "user.username.notnull")
        @Pattern(regexp="[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?", message="{user.username.email}")
            String username,
        @HeaderParam("passwd")
        @ApiParam(value = "passwd", required = true)
        @NotNull(message = "user.passwd.notnull")
        @Size(min = 6, max = 20, message = "{username.passwd.size}")
            String passwd
    ) throws UsernameAlreadyExistsCommtyException, RepositorySystemException;

    @GET
    @ApiOperation(value = "User exists", response = Boolean.class)
    @ApiResponses(value = {
      @ApiResponse(code = 400, message = "Invalid user information specified") 
    })
    public abstract Response exists(
        @HeaderParam("user")
        @ApiParam(value = "username", required = true)
        @NotNull(message = "user.username.notnull")
        @Pattern(regexp="[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?", message="{user.username.email}")
            String username
    );

}

These exceptions are UsernameAlreadyExistsCommtyException, RepositorySystemException, javax.validation.ValidationException. All of them are handled by JAXRS mappers. For example:

@Provider
public class CommtyExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<UsernameAlreadyExistsCommtyException> {

    @Override
    public Response toResponse(UsernameAlreadyExistsCommtyException exception) {
        return Response
                .status(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST.getStatusCode())
                .type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                .entity(ErrorMessage.create(exception.getCode(), exception.getMessage()))
                .build();
    }

}

As you can see, I'm embedding an ErrorMessage {code, message} on body, and I would like to handle them on typescript\angular2 code...

Any approach to handle that?

I ran into the issue that I want to retrieve the status of the response. More specifically I'd like to know when 401 was retrieved. I cannot determine this from the body. This issue seemed to match my problem.

Just to note, this isn't just about errors, as 204 is not an error, but it is about accessing the response. The distinction can be done using the response's status code. To still make this strongly typed I'd like to suggest the following:

Wouldn't it be more correct to generate InlineBody200 in addition to InlineResponse200. InlineBody200 represents the schema and InlineResponse200 is the response itself.
The response itself is like a Reponse from angular2, except that its .json() returns InlineBody200.

In addition a type can be generated that is a union of the possible responses:

type InlineResponse = InlineResponse200 | InlineResponse401 | etc

The call in DefaultApi can return a Observable<InlineResponse>.
is functions return a InlineResponse200 | InlineResponse401 | etc.

That way you'd have all information that angular2 supplies, but it's still strongly typed.
