Deno support for deps.ts

Hi team! I´m trying Deno, and following one of their best practices, they recommend moving all the dependencies with a url or a npm prefix to a deps.ts file: https://deno.land/manual@v1.5.1/examples/manage_dependencies Given that the "xata codegen" tool generates the client code and builds something like:

import { buildClient } from "npm:@xata.io/client@latest";
import type {
  BaseClientOptions,
  SchemaInference,
  XataRecord,
} from "npm:@xata.io/client@latest";

import { buildClient } from "npm:@xata.io/client@latest";
import type {
  BaseClientOptions,
  SchemaInference,
  XataRecord,
} from "npm:@xata.io/client@latest";

Is there a recommended way to handle it, as we should not change generated code...

Manage Dependencies | Manual | Deno

In Deno there is no concept of a package manager as external modules are imported directly into local modules. This raises the question of how to manage remote dependencies without a package manager.

That's right, the src/xata.ts output shouldn't be edited as its content can be overwritten by next CLI actions. What about exporting the XataClient in the deps.ts file?

deps.ts 

export {
  XataClient
} from "./src/xata.ts";

deps.ts 

export {
  XataClient
} from "./src/xata.ts";

You could then call it in your code like in this example, with a custom getXataClient if options need to be passed to it https://xata.io/docs/typescript-client/configuration#configuration-overrides i.e.

import {
  XataClient 
} from "./deps.ts";

let instance: XataClient | undefined = undefined;

export const getXataClient = () => {

  if (instance) return instance

  instance = new XataClient({
    databaseURL: "https://test-347b7r.eu-west-1.xata.sh/db/mydb1",
    apiKey: "mykey",
  })

  return instance
}

import {
  XataClient 
} from "./deps.ts";

let instance: XataClient | undefined = undefined;

export const getXataClient = () => {

  if (instance) return instance

  instance = new XataClient({
    databaseURL: "https://test-347b7r.eu-west-1.xata.sh/db/mydb1",
    apiKey: "mykey",
  })

  return instance
}

Thanks! I'll built it through this approach!
