[DOCS]: Example on how to create a GitHubClient with different authentication providers

[ElanHasson]

Describe the need

I have a system where users can provide PATs to use the GH API via our system.

We would like to be able to create a new authentication provider each time, however since the the client factory is immutable it doesn't seem to be possible.

I'm probably missing something, any guidance is welcome!

Hmm...I'm not sure I understand what you're after, sorry! Do you mind providing a little more detail, and/or maybe an imaginative code snippet that would reflect what you're looking for?

Hi @kfcampbell!

Here are some details. I have a Multi-user system, users provide their own GH PAT.

I couldn't figure out how to modify the token directly for each request as the client disallows that.

So I cheated:

public class AsyncLocalTokenProvider : IAccessTokenProvider
{
    public static readonly AsyncLocal<string> Token = new(s => _ = s.CurrentValue);

    AllowedHostsValidator IAccessTokenProvider.AllowedHostsValidator => new();

    public Task<string> GetAuthorizationTokenAsync(Uri requestUri, Dictionary<string, object>? additionalAuthenticationContext = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default) => Task.FromResult(Token.Value ?? string.Empty);
}

Usage

  private static readonly HttpClientRequestAdapter Factory = new ClientFactory()
      .WithUserAgent($"InfinityFlow-{nameof(GitHubV1)}", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(GitHubV1))?.GetName()?.Version?.ToString()
              ?? "0.0.0")
      .WithRequestTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100))
      .WithAuthenticationProvider(new TokenAuthProvider(new GitHubAsyncLocalTokenProvider()))
      .WithBaseUrl("https://api.github.com")
      .Build();
    private static readonly GitHubClient GitHubClient = new(Factory);


 var credential = await Credential.Get();
 AsyncLocalTokenProvider.Token.Value = credential.Password;

There has to be a better way to do this with Kiota :D
