Description
Hi,
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I generated a client library using openapi-generator-cli and the following command:
java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -i *.yaml -g javascript -o out
I'm now searching for a way to inject an OAuth header computed from the request without changing the generated code.
Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to pass superagent request interceptors or "authenticators" to the ApiClient instance.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried the following:
- Override
applyAuthToRequestto set the header
client.applyAuthToRequest = function(request) {
const auth = computeAuthorization(request);
request.set({'Authorization': auth });
};
But applyAuthToRequest is called too early, when the request object is not entirely filled.
- Override
applyAuthToRequestto add a listener to requests
client.applyAuthToRequest = function(request) {
request.addListener("end", function() {
// ...
});
};
But the end event seems to be the only event we can listen to, and it happens to late.
- Pass a custom
requestAgentto theApiClient
const apiClient = require('../../ApiClient.js');
const requestAgent = new require("https").Agent({ /* Options */});
const client = apiClient.instance;
client.requestAgent = requestAgent;
(...)
In that case the custom agent is used, but I haven't find any way of adding interceptors or listening to requests.
Any help would be appreciated.
