Unfortunately, the spec doesn’t support referencing pattern values, you’d have to copy them, or reuse the object that contains them.

I want to make some sort of a constant values that I can re-use instead of having a bunch of copies of the same regex pattern. This is for readability and to reduce the locations that have to be updated if the regex is changed. I've tried a few things. The most recent was to define an extension as shown below. The example shows two ways that I tried to do it. The first was just direct properties with values and the last one, "objected" was by creating an extension called "x-val" so that I could specify the type as "string. Is there a way to do what I am trying to do with Swagger 2.0? x-formatting: username: "/^[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9-]+[A-Z0-9]$/i" targetname: "/^[A-Z0-9\\-\\._]+$/i" groupname: "/^[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9-]+[A-Z0-9]$/i" email: "/^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,20}$/i" objectid: type: string x-val: "/^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$/" ... and here are the attempted references pattern: $ref: "#/x-formatting/username" pattern: $ref: "#/x-formatting/objectid/x-val" The error I am getting is that the pattern field is expecting a "string" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Swagger" group.
