How to add example in an API response without having to describe again the schema?

[gotson]

Hi,

in #2479 it is mentioned that the whole @ApiResponse should be added in order to add an example.

This is not very convenient, given the response code and schema is already introspected from the code.

Isn't there a better way to handle this ?

The issue that you link looks to specifically be for Collections. If your model is represented by an object then the example can be attached to that object (or rather, its Schema) and it can easily be reused.

Could your specific scenario be clarified so it is clearer exactly what type of object that you would like to attach an example to?
