@Summary(summary: string)

@Param(name: string, location: ParamLocation, schema: SchemaDef, options: ParamOptions)

Adds a param definition to the operation

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
name	string		The parameter name
location	string	oneOf: query, header, path or cookie	Where the parameter is located
schema	object		A schema definition following openapi specifications
options	object	optional	Options for the parameter following openapi specifications

options.contentMediaType	string	optional	Media type definition complying with RFC 6838. If present, schema is rendered under content

Note:

When using @Query(), @Params(), @Headers() or @Cookies() from @decorators/express defining the name attribute, a basic parameter definition is automatically added to the openapi document. This definition is equivalent to calling @Param(name, location) without passing options.

If you need to define extra options, a new call of @Param(name, location, options) will override the automatic definition.

Examples:

class Constructor {
  @Get('/:id')
  public getById(@Param('id') id, @Response() res) {
      // ...
  }
}

produces

...
"parameters": [
  { "name": "id", "in": "path", "required": true }
]
...

class Constructor {
  @Get('/:id')
  @Param('id', 'path', { required: true })
  public getById(@Request() req, @Response() res) {
      const id = req.params.id;
      // ...
  }
}

also produces

...
"parameters": [
  { "name": "id", "in": "path", "required": true }
]
...
