Placeholders in base URL

[BeyondEvil]

Is it possible to provide a base URL to Client with placeholders (similar to f-strings/format)? Either named or positional?

Something like: Client(base_url="https://dev.azure.com/{org_id}/{project_id}/_apis/wit/workitems/")

I thought it'd be interesting to see what ChatGPT says...

Yeah, that's similar to what I did, but I have a function.

from httpx import Client

from syncer import config


class HTTPClient:
    def __init__(self):
        self._client = None
        self._default_headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
        self._default_params = {"api-version": "7.0"}

    def client(self):
        if self._client is None:
            self._client = Client(
                auth=("", config.get("pat")),
                headers=self._default_headers,
                params=self._default_params,
            )
        return self._client

def url(org_id, project_id, endpoint):
    return f"https://dev.azure.com/{org_id}/{project_id}/_apis/wit/workitems/{endpoint}"

and a call might look like:

response = self._http_client.delete(
            url(self.org, self.project_id, self.id),
        )

[BeyondEvil]

I guess I could remove the endpoint as, IIRC, I can pass that in as an arg to the different verbs.
