vscode-restclient

FWIW if someone wants a tool like this with better support, JetBrains has defined a .http file format that contains a DSL for making HTTP requests and running JS on the results. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/http-client-in-product-c... There's a CLI tool for executing these files: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/http-client-cli.html There's a substantially similar plugin for VSCode here: https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

This looks interesting. Longtime user of the Vscode-restclient, but have been moving over to httpyac lately for the scripting and cli use. Will take a look to see if hurl is a good fit. One annoying thing I've found in testing these tools is that a standard hasn't emerged for using the results of one request as input for another in the syntax of `.http` files. These three tools for instance have three different ways of doing it: * hurl uses `[Captures]` * Vscode-restclient does it by referencing request names in a variable declaration (like: `@token = {{loginAPI.response.body.token}}`). * While httpyac uses `@ref` syntax. From a quick round of testing it seems like using the syntax for one might break the other tools.

Just tried. You can save the full response to a single file with one click, but it doesn’t include the original request. I found an issue asking for the same feature: https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient/issues/1311

Same. I use https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient If you need a little more control or automation, it can also generate scripts for cURL or PowerShell (and others) directly from the request. Organization is on you, but I prefer that over a heavyweight and opinionated tool like Postman. The .http files can also be used in Jetbrains Rider (probably their other suites as well)

A folder of text files is what my team does, using https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

If you use VS Code REST Client is awesome https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

The "HTTP" format proposed in the article is the same we use with Hurl [1], an Open Source HTTP CLI based on plain text. POST http://httpbingo.org/anything/chat content-type: application/json { "message": "Hello!" } We extend it a bit to add checks on response, and add request chaining, but it's basically HTTP 1.x as this article shows it. A lot of others tools have the same idea, with minor differences: - Hurl (I'm one of the maintainer) https://hurl.dev - HTTP Client https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/http-client-in-product-c... - httpYac https://httpyac.github.io - restclient.el https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el - REST Client https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient - verb https://github.com/federicotdn/verb And many more... Worth noting, other tools have taken the YAML route (like Step CI https://stepci.co

For a team using VSCode you can try the vscode-restclient[1] But really Hurl looks really interesting, being editor agnostic is the best solution for your problem, I agree. [1] https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

I switched to "vscode-restclient" about a year ago and never looked back. It has variables, everything is saved as text, and I can commit my request suite to source control for collaboration's sake. https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

For simple requests where it's just convenient to have them in a list, with a description/easy to find for replaying, a VSCode extension like Rest Client [0] can be useful instead of the desktop apps. Well, VSCode is a desktop app too, but if you already use it... :P I like it because you can just write a text file with the request and any comments you need around them, and... being just text, it's so easy to manipulate. When I need scripts for special auth I fall back to postman though, haven't digged enough to see if I can make it work with that addon (or any other one). Also there's Thunder Client [1] which I haven't tried but apparenly has more features. EDIT: references [0] https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient [1] https://www.thunderclient.io/

I've started using Restclient, a VS Code plugin [1]. It allows me to easily add test scripts/requests to my normal GitHub workflow and share them with team mates. [1] https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

Visual Studio Code has a similarly named (seemingly?) API-compatible extension: https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

I'm pretty happy with the features of the vscode-restclient called VS Code extension. https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient
