Multiple files upload using swagger operation

Question

I am currently doing multiple files upload using swagger operation. Following are the codes that I am working with:

class uploadImage(Resource):

  @swagger.operation(

        notes='Upload an image file',

        parameters=[
          {
            "name": "file[]",
            "description": "Upload an image file. File size limit is 3MB. Only '.jpg' is allowed ",
            "required": True,
            "allowMultiple": True,
            "dataType": 'file',
            "paramType": "form"
          }
])

def post(self):
    files=request.files.getlist['file[]']
    filenames = []
    for file in files:
        filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
        filenames.append(filename)
        print "Files are uploaded successfully"

Although I inserted "allowMultiple":True in the code, but it did not show in the swagger UI. Once the server is up, I try to view the html source code, "multiple" does not display in the form.

Following is the source code for swagger ui when the server is up:

<input class="parameter" type="file" name="file[]">

The word "multiple" is missing from the .

If I edit the source code and add in the word "multiple" as below, I manage to select multiple files.

<input class="parameter" type="file" name="file[]" multiple>

It seems like "allowMultiple":True does not work for me in this case.

Any idea or suggestion for me?

Thank you.

That's just not supported by Swagger. See https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-spec/issues/254.
