How to add a request validator in a AWS SAM template for AWS::Serverless::Api?

Question

I\'m trying to use AWS SAM to link a request validator resource to a serverless API in a SAM template. I have created the request validator and referenced the API in its RestApi

Answer 1

I searched through source code for api transformation functions and there is no way how to append request validation. SAM transform AWS::Serverless::Api to inline body swagger/openapi definition but has nothing for x-amazon-apigateway-request-validator. I don't understand why there is way to define model in lambda event when it only append schema section in api method

"paths": {
  "/post": {
    "post": {
      "requestBody": {
        "content": {
          "application/json": {
            "schema": {
              "$ref": "#/components/schemas/user"
            }
          }
        }, 
        "required": true
      }, 

maybe add feature request in SAM github
