Injecting a string resolves an empty string instead of undefined about dependency-injection

@arnederuwe This is expected behavior. When a constructor is registered to be injected, it will be instantiated and value of new String() call is an empty string.

For NSwag, what you need to do is to register the service client in your main.ts:

export function configure(aurelia: Aurelia) {
  aurelia
    .use
    .instance(
      MyGeneratedServiceClass,
      new MyGeneratedServiceClass('http://path/to/my/base/url', aurelia.container.get(HttpClient))
    );
}

Thanks for clarifying, I am doing something similar as you are describing to circumvent it:

export function configure(config: FrameworkConfiguration) {
	config.container.registerSingleton(
		ImageClient,
		() => new ImageClient(null, config.container.get(HttpClient))
	);
	config.container.registerSingleton(
		ContainerClient,
		() => new ContainerClient(null, config.container.get(HttpClient))
	);
	config.container.registerSingleton(
		CustomerClient,
		() => new CustomerClient(null, config.container.get(HttpClient))
	);
	config.container.registerSingleton(
		TenantInfoTokenClient,
		() => new TenantInfoTokenClient(null, config.container.get(HttpClient))
	);
}

Problem is I'm having a lot of clients, and this code isn't really DRY :) that's why I wanted to use nswag's url resolver function, but that only get's triggered when an undefined is passed to the client. I'll file an issue with NSwag, as there really is no clean way to utilize their resolver function because of this.
