bug(ts): statics missing on TypeOfGenericClient

[flashtheman]

I'm following an example I found and where it should be possible to call Client.register. See below.

const issuer = await Issuer.discover(baseURL);

const issuer = await issuer.Client.register({
     redirect_uris,
 });

However, the register method seems not to be implemented, and therefore typescript shows the following error:

Property 'register' does not exist on type 'TypeOfGenericClient'.ts(2339)

I would expect the register method to exist and not throw an error.

Environment:

• openid-client version: v5.2.1
• node version: v19.0.1
• typescript: v4.8.4

I see no runtime issue, the method is there, it's type definition issue. Feel free to submit a PR fixing this. I suspect all static getters/setters and methods will be missing on TypeOfGenericClient.

Ok thanks. I was assuming that below error I receive on runtime is related to the missing register type definition. But maybe it's something else.

Completely unrelated. Maybe your IdP does not support dynamic client registration and you ought to just be instantiating a client like so, new issuer.Client(metadata) using metadata given to you.

ok thanks a lot. You are right - I hadn't enabled dynamic registration! Thank you!!!
