Remarks

This attribute triggers the production of REST APIs and provides information about the HTTP client and optionally the name of the dependency. It can only be applied to interfaces and their name must start with an 'I', for example IMyClient. This attribute must receive as a first parameter the HTTP client name to be retrieved from the IHttpClientFactory. Optionally, it may receive a second parameter that will set the dependency name used in generated telemetry. If this value is not set, it will use the name of the interface without the leading 'I'. If the interface name ends in 'Client' or 'Api', the dependency name will exclude that. Example: IMyDependencyClient would result in dependency name MyDependency.
