{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Represent empty responses as None","articleBody":"When I specify no content for a response, I would expect to generate a `sync` method and `async` method that returns `None`.\r\n\r\nCurrently, I work against an api that has a few endpoints returning no data (that could be with status code 200 or status code 204).\r\nExample:\r\n```\r\n   \"/something\" : {\r\n      \"patch\" : {\r\n        ...\r\n        \"responses\" : {\r\n          \"200\" : {\r\n            \"description\" : \"something\"\r\n          }\r\n        }\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n```\r\n\r\nWhen I generate a client with this project, this endpoint will not have a `sync` or `async` method, but only the `sync_detailed` and `async_detailed`. This works, but it looks weird because for all other methods I use `sync/async`. I would be great to have them implemented to return None (like a void/unit method in python).\r\n\r\nI think, the problem manifests here: https://github.com/openapi-generators/openapi-python-client/blob/4823d96c4a85ce797bc6df529b6080f38f7390ce/openapi_python_client/templates/endpoint_module.py.jinja#L18\r\n\r\nThe sync method is only generated if the return type is not any - which makes sense. But I think, the return type here is not actually `Any` - but None. The response type comes from here: https://github.com/openapi-generators/openapi-python-client/blob/4823d96c4a85ce797bc6df529b6080f38f7390ce/openapi_python_client/parser/openapi.py#L525\r\n\r\nHere is a link with documentation on handling empty responses and any type: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/data-types/\r\n\r\nAccording to that, the difference is having either no `content` field for empty responses and having a `content` field defined with an empty object for any type.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/cornerman","@type":"Person","name":"cornerman"},"datePublished":"2023-06-04T19:37:33.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/770/openapi-python-client/issues/770"}
