I know this may sound a bit weird, but I have an use case where a response must only return a decimal that is like

0.12

,

0.35

or

0.5

etc. Essentially, it is "percentage" with maximal 2 digits after the separator. How would I add this to my contract?

decimalType

allows all kinds of decimals, such as

-1234.23456

stringMatcher

will make it a string type instead of decimal Is there maybe some more general

matches(...)

which I could then tell the type + a custom regex matching? If not, how could I implement what I need as extension? Any hints? While at it, what about other similar stuff, such as "any positive number"?

There was a really old issue for using a format string (similar to how dates work), but there hasn't been anyone asking for it

how would that look like? if i use

stringMatcher

it would make it a string, i.e.

"123"

instead of a number type in json

123

in the generated json request/response. I need it to be a number type, but still want to have a matcher on it - didnt find any method for that at first glance

Oh, I see the problem, there is no way with the DSL to configure a regex with a number value.

Essentially, it is "percentage" with maximal 2 digits after the separator.

This is an aside, but personally I would do this with a string instead of a number. That way I would have full control, rather than it come down to how the number was serialised by whatever JSON library wrote it.

agreed. unfortunately, i dont have control over it. but yeah, the actual issue expands to stuff like "test that a number type is positive", which sounds like a valid use case
