HTML5 Placeholder in Parameter Fields

[notmattlucas]

Hi,

Following on from my groups post I think it'd be useful to utilize the HTML5 placeholder attribute for parameter input fields within swagger UI - basically as a helpful cue for the user.

For example, if I had a date field the input box could start with a placeholder of 'yyyy-mm-dd' - the default value couldn't be used here as the format suggestion isn't actually valid input.

I guess there'd need to be an additional field on the annotation, e.g.

@ApiParam(placeholder="yyyy-mm-dd")

I'd be more than happy to contribute the change myself if you guys think that it's worthwhile

Cheers

Hi @lucas1000001 would this be better in the defaultValue?

Please feel free to open an issue on swagger-core for this.
