kiota client generate
Description
Now that we have a workspace.json file, all the parameters required to generate the code are stored in the file. The kiota client generate command will read the workspace.json file and generate the code for each of the available clients.
It's also possible to specify for which API and client the code should be generated. This is useful when a project contains multiple clients. The kiota client generate --client-name "MyClient" command will read the workspace.json file and generate the code for the specified client. If it can't find the specified API or client, it will throw an error.
In general cases, the kiota client generate command will generate the code for all the clients in the workspace.json file based on the cached OpenAPI description. If the --refresh parameter is provided, the command will refresh the cached OpenAPI description(s), update the different x-ms-kiotaHash in the API Manifest and then generate the code for the specified clients.
