Authorization Resources (external ID) endpoints and listResources endpoint #1472

linear: https://linear.app/workos/issue/ENT-4372/sdk-updates

I decided to break up the work for ENT-4372 into a smaller pr's that we can be easily reviewed and merge them into ENT-4372-base-authorization-branch. Then we can have one final merge that merges ENT-4372-base-authorization-branch into the main.

desc: the goal of this pr is to implement the following endpoints in the node sdk.

listResources()               | GET /authorization/organizations/{org_id}/resources

getResourceByExternalId()     | GET /authorization/organizations/{org_id}/resources/{type}/{external_id}
updateResourceByExternalId()  | PATCH /authorization/organizations/{org_id}/resources/{type}/{external_id}
deleteResourceByExternalId()  | DELETE /authorization/organizations/{org_id}/resources/{type}/{external_id}

Each one will call the corresponding new fga endpoints within workos repo

listResources() ~ https://github.com/workos/workos/blob/51f5a445c3a247f5f093bfaae8e385629df56d36/packages/api/src/authorization-resources/authorization-resources.controller.ts#L83

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR implements four new authorization resource endpoints that enable operations using external IDs instead of internal resource IDs:

listResources() - Retrieves paginated list of resources with filtering by organization, resource type, parent resource, and search
getResourceByExternalId() - Fetches a specific resource by organization ID, resource type slug, and external ID
updateResourceByExternalId() - Updates resource name and/or description using external ID
deleteResourceByExternalId() - Deletes a resource using external ID

The implementation follows established patterns in the codebase with consistent serialization, proper TypeScript typing, and comprehensive test coverage. All new methods properly handle nullable fields (description, parent_resource_id) and use the existing deserialization utilities. The list endpoint includes pagination support with before/after cursors and array filters are correctly serialized as comma-separated strings.

Confidence Score: 5/5

This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
The implementation follows existing patterns consistently, includes comprehensive test coverage with edge cases (null values, empty bodies, pagination), uses proper TypeScript types, and correctly handles serialization/deserialization. No security concerns, no breaking changes, and all custom rules are satisfied.
No files require special attention

Filename	Overview
src/authorization/authorization.ts	Added four new resource endpoints using external ID: `listResources()`, `getResourceByExternalId()`, `updateResourceByExternalId()`, and `deleteResourceByExternalId()` with consistent API patterns
src/authorization/authorization.spec.ts	Comprehensive test coverage for all new endpoints including edge cases, pagination, filters, and null handling
src/authorization/serializers/list-authorization-resources-options.serializer.ts	Serializer properly converts camelCase options to snake_case parameters and joins arrays into comma-separated strings
src/authorization/serializers/update-authorization-resource-by-external-id-options.serializer.ts	Serializer correctly handles optional `name` and `description` fields using `!== undefined` checks to allow null values
src/authorization/interfaces/list-authorization-resources-options.interface.ts	Interface properly extends `PaginationOptions` and defines array filters with corresponding snake_case serialized version

suggestion: could externalId contain URL-significant characters? Not sure if this is gated elsewhere but could be good to wrap with encodeURIComponent.

I have a ticket to change this and slugs to singular organization_id, resource_type_slug
