Missing typehint of File payload for async requests

Describe the bug

LOW PRIORITY

If an API provides an "upload_file" endpoint, when using async, one has to use an asynchronous way to open a file.

Using anyio from httpx, it would require an "AsyncFile" object: https://github.com/agronholm/anyio/blob/2a63fd0bef1575e583c4cf63cebe7d76a218c83e/src/anyio/_core/_fileio.py#L38C49-L39C5

This doesn't match with File payload typehint: openapi_python_client/templates/types.py.jinja, line 25 and results with an incorrect IDE warning.

OpenAPI Spec File https://github.com/openapi-generators/openapi-python-client/blob/main/openapi_python_client/templates/types.py.jinja#L25

Example async usage:

def send_file(client: AuthenticatedClient, my_filepath: str):
    async with await anyio.open_file(my_filepath, mode="rb") as async_file:
        file = types.File(async_file, my_filepath, "text/html; charset=utf-8")
        return await upload.asyncio(client=client, body=file)

(This works fine, but IDE will complain about async_file type)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04
  • Python Version: 3.11
  • openapi-python-client version: 0.24.1

Additional context

Quick solution:

@define
class File:
    """ Contains information for file uploads """

    payload: BinaryIO | AsyncFile
    file_name: Optional[str] = None
    mime_type: Optional[str] = None

But: Running upload.asyncio function with payload of type BinaryIO will result in the following exception: Runtime Error: Attempted to send an sync request with an AsyncClient instance.

So, to prevent users from getting this a little bit misleading exception, they should get an IDE warning. To do that, asyncio functions should require a different type of payload than sync, when it comes to IO objects:

@define
class File:
    """ Contains information for file uploads """

    payload: BinaryIO
    file_name: Optional[str] = None
    mime_type: Optional[str] = None

[.....]

from anyio import AsyncFile

@define
class AsyncFile_:
    """ Contains information for file uploads """

    payload: AsyncFile
    file_name: Optional[str] = None
    mime_type: Optional[str] = None
