[REQ] Support for withAWSV4Signature in TypeScript Axios Generator

TypeScript generator lacks support for signing apis with AWS v4 generator.

This generator lacks withAWSV4Signature which indicates whether to include AWS v4 signature support. This feature is available in Go generator: https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/go/

So, it would be great to have support for this feature in TypeScript Axios generator as well. https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/typescript-axios/

Here is the PR to add AWS V4 signature support to the Go client generator: https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/7326/files.

Following up on this:

I see two paths forward here, we could

a) utilize the https://github.com/jamesmbourne/aws4-axios and implement as an interceptor, as seen in @jarruda’s commit b) Implement using system libraries, similar to https://github.com/mhart/aws4, implementing it similar to the existing auth methods which are added here: https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/typescript-axios/common.mustache#L30 https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/typescript-axios/configuration.mustache#L5

Do we have a preference for this?

I’m inclined for option b, as it avoids a third-party dependency, but may require additional maintenance in the future if sigv4 were to change
