Handle 401 response with JWT authentication in generated C# client

[JonWillis-Tote]

Hi,

I have an OpenAPI spec (snipped to just the security bits below), which I can use in the NSwagStudio to generate the c# client. We need to call an endpoint with a JWT token, and if we get back 401 response, we should reauthenticate to get a new JWT. From what I can tell, the client generation does nothing with the JWT authentication in the schema?

I know I can inject a HttpClient to the generated constructor, so I can authenticate in advance and set the default headers. I can also also if needed, implement the PrepareRequest method to get a JWT token on every request.

My issue is specifically around reauthentication based on a response. My JWT is valid for 10 minutes, so i don't want to request a new JWT on every request. Instead, I expect if I get a 401 response, then I want to trigger authentication and reattempt the request with the new JWT. I believe this is a normal flow for JWT auth as tokens have reasonable short expiry times.

Now I can't see anything within the generated clients that handle this case, or have I missed something?

openapi: 3.0.1

security:
  - bearerAuth: []
  - 
components:
  securitySchemes:
    bearerAuth:
      type: http
      scheme: bearer
      bearerFormat: JWT

Just as an update, to work around this, I wrapped the generated client in my own client, and did all the additional logic required in that.
