Hi Marinko, It's clearly explained and worked as expected. I was looking for something like this for a long time. However, my use case is slightly different. I need to protect my Azure function app instead of my WebApi. Do you have any thoughts?

[@CodeMaze]

Hi Philip. First of all thanks for the kind words. I didn't work with Azure at all, well I did something small, but nothing more than that, so I hardly can help you with that.

@@CodeMaze Thank you for getting back to me!

Hi Marinko, is it better to configure your type client using action delegate while registering it or in constructor like you did? You are injecting http client inside CompaniesClient, i assume that is possible to configure base url and timeout inside program.cs while registering CompaniesClient. Best regards

[@CodeMaze]

Hi. You can configure it inside the Program class, if you search through some of Microsoft's documentation, you will see they have similar examples. But, for me, it is always better to encapsulate that HttpClient configuration inside the typed client class, making the Program class cleaner with less configuration logic. Also, this is configuration strictly related to that specific client, so why not having it inside the typed client's class.
