"AddRestEaseClient" could register multiple interfaces for the same configuration?

[leonibr]

Hi, Is there a way that AddRestEaseClient could register multiple interfaces, something like:

.AddRestEaseClientMultiple()
    .Add<IAdminClient>()
    .Add<IStorePublic>()
   // all having the same configuration
    .Close()  // now returns to IHttpClientBuilder
.ConfigureHttpClient((service, client) => client.BaseAddress = Program.basePath)
.AddHttpMessageHandler<BaseAddressAuthorizationMessageHandler>();

Thank you for your time

Which method would the params such as baseAddress, configurer and requestModifier be passed to?

[leonibr]

Sorry for the delay,. I think I didn't quite explain correctly. I usually create several clients like UserClient , ProfileClient and so on, and those clients share a common configuration settings like baseAddress and some common HttpMessageHandlers. So there is no way to pass multiple clients registration that will share some common configuration? I don't think you should create a new API for this, I thought there was something out of docs for this sugar, but thanks.

There isn't currently. It wouldn't be hard to add something I think: you'd probably want to turn the API around a bit and call:

services.AddHttpClient(...).AddRestEaseClient<T1>().AddRestEaseClient<T2>()...;

You're basically just splitting this code out into its own extension method on IHttpClientBuilder.

You wouldn't be able to pass in a baseAddress or HttpMessageHandler to AddRestEaseClient of course: those need to be registered with the HttpClient, so you'd need to configure them there.

ok, I see your point. Thank you again.

Reopening, as I think this is probably something worth implementing.

I'm new to this library but I've created a factory class where I pass in the IApi type I need and then return the RestClient.For<T>(...) and handle all of my logic e.g. adding the Bearer token etc. so I can keep my code DRY. The solution above would really help with that, unless there's another way already to globally add adding headers?

[canton7]

This issue won't be relevant to you if you're configuring a RestEase interface after constructing it, before returning it. It's just about if you're using HttpClientFactory and IServiceProvider.

If you've got other questions, please open another issue. Thanks!
