Function ensureExternalRefsInSchema

pkg/codegen/externalref.go:80–107

ensureExternalRefsInSchema ensures that when an externalRef (`$ref` that points to a file that isn't the current spec) is encountered, we make sure we update our underlying `RefType` to make sure that we point to that type. This only happens if we have a non-empty `ref` passed in, and that `ref` is

(schema *Schema, ref string)

//
// NOTE that the pointer here allows us to pass in a reference and edit in-place
func ensureExternalRefsInSchema(schema *Schema, ref string) {
	if ref == "" {
		return
	}

	parts := strings.SplitN(ref, "#", 2)
	pack, ok := globalState.importMapping[parts[0]]
	if !ok {
		return
	}

	// if this is already defined as the start of a struct, we shouldn't inject **??**
	if !strings.HasPrefix(schema.GoType, "struct {") {
		schema.RefType = fmt.Sprintf("%s.%s", pack.Name, schema.GoType)
	}

	// Qualify union branch types. Each UnionElement was resolved as a
	// local reference during generateUnion (e.g. "Bionicle"); when the
	// enclosing schema came from an externally-ref'd file the branches
	// actually live in the imported package, so the As/From/Merge
	// methods generated by union.tmpl must use "<pkg>.Bionicle" instead.
	for i, elem := range schema.UnionElements {
		s := string(elem)
		if !strings.Contains(s, ".") {
			schema.UnionElements[i] = UnionElement(fmt.Sprintf("%s.%s", pack.Name, s))
		}
	}
