AutoREST client

[chaen]

• authorization header (feat: integration authz headers in Dirac client #87 )
• Instance URL from preferences
• Generate in pre-commit (Add test to regenerate diracx.client #33)
• Cleanup patches (Introduce extensions: Gubbins #249)

How are we supposed to automatically update the autorest generated clients and use them?

I am thinking about a CI job that:

• runs autorest --python and --typescript
• generate a pip and an npm packages
• update the client code in diracx (both python- and typescript-client would be located in this repo). This would be needed as we need to tweak the generated client. By the way, I haven't found any module similar to _patch.py in the autorest.typescript, which means that the patched client would be probably located in diracx-web.

diracx would import the python client, and diracx-web the typescript one.

Do you have another plan in mind?

I think this one can be closed.
We have the client working as we want for python, and the CI regenerates.
For the typescript part, I have no opinion as I haven't touched diracx-web. Do you feel the need for it yet ?

It might be interesting to get the models (e.g. Job fields, Status...).
In any case, I think this would probably be done in the diracx-web repo, not here.
I can open an issue in diracx-web to investigate this option at some point, and then we can close this particular issue I think.
