…rializable, by adding the config option serializableModel=(true|false)

PR checklist

• Read the contribution guidelines.
• Ran the shell script under ./bin/ to update Petstore sample so that CIs can verify the change. (For instance, only need to run ./bin/{LANG}-petstore.sh, ./bin/openapi3/{LANG}-petstore.sh if updating the {LANG} (e.g. php, ruby, python, etc) code generator or {LANG} client's mustache templates). Windows batch files can be found in .\bin\windows\. If contributing template-only or documentation-only changes which will change sample output, be sure to build the project first.
• Filed the PR against the correct branch: master, 4.1.x, 5.0.x. Default: master.
• Copied the technical committee to review the pull request if your PR is targeting a particular programming language. @jimschubert (2017/09) ❤️, @dr4ke616 (2018/08) @karismann (2019/03) @Zomzog (2019/04)

Description of the PR

I added a new configOption "serializableModel=(true|false)" to org.openapitools.codegen.languages.AbstractKotlinCodegen and to the files

• kotlin-server/data_class.mustache
• kotlin-client/data_class.mustache

in order to allow to generate kotlin data classes that implement the interface "java.io.Serializable". This will come in handy if data classes are generated with the intention to store data in databases or in distributed caches (i.e. hazelcast)

FYI. I've added the new option via 15e433e and update the doc, samples, etc.

You’re welcome! Thx for accepting it.

I've tried adding serializableModel like below, but it doesn't seem to cause the generated model objects to implement Serializable in 4.3.1 or 5.0.0-beta2. Any clues? Thanks.

openApiGenerate {
    verbose.set(false)
    validateSpec.set(true)
    generatorName.set("kotlin-spring")
    inputSpec.set("${rootDir}/yaml/endpoints.yaml")
    outputDir.set("${buildDir}/api-generated")
    modelPackage.set("com.my.model")
    apiPackage.set("com.my.controller")
    modelNameSuffix.set("Resource")
    configOptions.set(mapOf(
            "serializableModel" to "true",
            "enumPropertyNaming" to "UPPERCASE"
    ))
}
