[REQ][Typescript-Node] Replace request library with node http request

[mahirk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

typescript-node relies on request which is no longer supported. Other options from axios and fetch are already provided, however the generator does not provide a pure node version as the generator name mentions. In order to provide an effective alternative, the template should be adjusted to use the node HTTP client

Describe alternatives you've considered

Devs could be directed to just use axios or fetch but those might not be in the preffered stack.

Additional context

Happy to make the change here if no one picks it up!

I wonder if we can improve the flexibility of the solution by keeping the network solution open to the package user. From my perspective we could define an interface that lets the user choose their preferred networking solution. Maybe this could help us consolidate the different clients into one if they are simple enough. An interface could look like this:

type Options<T> = {
  method?:
    | "GET"
    | "POST"
    | "PATCH"
    | "DELETE"
    | "HEAD"
    | "PUT"
    | "OPTIONS"
    | "TRACE",
  url: string,
  body?: T,
  // ...
};

type NetworkLayerImplementation<TBODY, TRETURN> = (
  requestOptions: Options<TBODY>
) => Promise<TRETURN>;

const axiosLayer: NetworkLayerImplementation = (requestOptions: Options) => {
  axios(transformAxiosOptions(requestOptions)).then(
    transformAxiosResponse,
    transformAxiosError
  );
};
const requestLayer: NetworkLayerImplementation = (requestOptions: Options) =>
  new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
    request(
      transformRequestOptions(requestOptions),
      (error, response, body) => {
        if (error) {
          reject(transformRequestError(error));
        } else {
          resolve(transformRequest(response, body));
        }
      }
    )
  );
const client = new Client(opts, axiosLayer);
