• AutoRest. Installing AutoRest on Windows, MacOS or Linux involves two steps:

1. Install Node.js (12.19.x LTS preferred. May not function with Node < 10.x.)

if you want an easy way to install and update Node, I recommend NVS - Node Version Switcher or NVM - Node Version Manager

2. Install AutoRest using npm

# Depending on your configuration you may need to be elevated or root to run this. (on OSX/Linux use 'sudo' )
The latest version is V3, but it doesn't accept HttpClient as a parameter in its constructors, so we have to fall back to V2, 

npm install -g autorest@previous

# run using command 'autorest' to check if installation worked
autorest --help

Take Orders API as example, orders.ps1:

Import-Module .\generator.psm1
Import-Module .\replace.psm1
Import-Module .\factory.psm1

$templatFile = '.\models\orders-api-model\ordersV0.json'
$outputFolder = '.\clients\IL\Orders'
$namespace = 'IL.Library.Amazon.SPAPI.Orders'
$clientname = 'OrdersClient'

generate $templatFile $outputFolder $namespace $clientname

addcode $outputFolder'\'$clientname'.cs' 'HttpClient.SendAsync'  '            PrepareRequest(_httpRequest);'

createfactory '.\factory.template' $outputFolder $clientname'Factory.cs' $namespace $clientname
 

• generate.psm1 uses AutoRest command to generate the Models and API interface.
• addcode.psm1 embeds one line code 'PrepareRequest(_httpRequest)' before the line of 'HttpClient.SendAsync', so we can chime in and add the required auth headers.
• factory.psm1 generates another source code file that implements PrepareRequest and a static instance create function.

To generate the code for an API, such as Orders API, just execute orders.ps1, you will get all you need.
