Override Binary Type to Generate as File Instead of Blob

[troypoulter]

I'm working with an OpenAPI spec that involves multipart uploads for binary data. By default, Orval generates these fields with the Blob type. However, this presents a challenge for me because the Blob type doesn't allow specifying a filename, which is necessary for how I construct my FormData payloads for uploads.

Question:
Is there a built-in way to configure Orval so that it generates File instead of Blob for binary types in the API specification?

Workarounds Considered:
I am considering using a post-processor script to perform a find-and-replace operation on the generated code, but this seems suboptimal. Any better alternatives or native solutions in Orval would be greatly appreciated.

Really an old post but maybe someone encounters the same issue.

This is what I had to do to fix this.

In your orval.config.ts file add an override for the contenttype. Include the 'multipart/formdata' to it and your done.

It would be:

{ ..., ..., "override": { "contentType": { "include": ['multipart/formdata'] } } }

It still generates File to Blob but you can now send the file instead of having it to convert to blob.
