typespec-autorest does not honor @clientName

This was partially by design that the only thing it support was what it supported with @projectedName and we just wanted parity. However it would probably make sense to expand the usage.

+1, we should either add x-ms-client-name or change the schema name, since it isn't actually part of the API

[tadelesh]

Previously, we have @projectedName("client", "xxx") to rename the type in swagger with x-ms-client-name. So my idea is do the same thing for @clientName.

[timotheeguerin]

That didn't work on the model name See playground, that is my point, we only kept parity.

but I don’t have anything against adding more cases

Oh, I see. Thanks for explanation.

@markcowl then we should add both @extension("x-ms-client-name", "xxx") and @clientName("xxx") to keep client generated from swagger and tsp to be the same.

[timotheeguerin]

Why do you need to add x-ms-client-name on the model, we should just change the definition name

[tadelesh]

Oh. I see. Thanks for the explanation.

[tadelesh]

For model/enum/interface/union renaming, since name is not used in wire, we should just rename the name. For parameters/properties renaming, we should use @clientName.

[timotheeguerin]

Confused here @tadelesh, don’t we need this? The point was more that autorest should rename the definition not add x-Ms-client-name

[tadelesh]

Oh, I got your point. My view is from convert swagger to TypeSpec, we don't need to add @clientName, instead just rename the name for that not impact wire when conversion.

From autorest emitter view, the requirements are:

1. for name that is used in wire, @clientName emit with x-ms-client-name
2. for name that is not used in wire, @clientName change the swagger definition name directly
