Static methods in class client

[sebastianvitterso]

Some other libraries like Kubb allow the generation of class-clients/services with static members, allowing us to change the usage:

- new TestingService().doThing()
+ TestingService.doThing()

This can be achieved by simply adding an option for pluginClient().clientType='staticClass' (or something), which would change generated client signature as follows:

export class TestService {
-  #client: typeof fetch
+  static #client: typeof fetch

-   async doTestAction(testId: TestActionParam["testId"], data: TestActionMutationRequest, config: Partial<RequestConfig<TestActionMutationRequest>> & { client?: typeof fetch } = {}) {
+   static async doTestAction(testId: TestActionParam["testId"], data: TestActionMutationRequest, config: Partial<RequestConfig<TestActionMutationRequest>> & { client?: typeof fetch } = {}) {
    ...

And other necessary changes, like how references to this must be replaced by TestService. For example, replace this.#client with StepService.#client (and potentially make it non-private, not sure how best-practice is for this).

Looks like a great idea, let's move this to an issue so it can be worked on. Always open for some contributions so if you want I can explain what is needed for this (should not be to hard). @sebastianvitterso

Make the conversion, and yeah - let me know what needs to be done, and I'll have a look. I think I can argue that this is work-related, since we're looking at using this for a work project.

I created issue #2326, and I'll close this one. Let's keep the rest of the discussion there.
