HTTP Client

Attach a postman-like http client to your vals, with bookmarks and history support

Usage

Wrap your http handler in an the httpClient middleware.

Create val
import {httpClient} from "https://esm.town/v/pomdtr/http_client"

export default httpClient((req) => {
   return new Response("Hello World!")
})

The http client will be shown on the root.

Adding bookmarks

You might want to bookmark some requests you need often. You can do it by passing a bookmark list as a middleware option:

Create val
import {httpClient} from "https://esm.town/v/pomdtr/http_client"

export default httpClient((req) => {
   return new Response("Hello World!")
}, {
  bookmarks: [
    {
      "label": "Dummy Request",
      "request": new Request("https://dummyjson.com/products")
    }
]})

Customizing the client path

Create val
import {httpClient} from "https://esm.town/v/pomdtr/http_client"

export default httpClient((req) => {
   return new Response("Hello World!")
}, {
  path: "/http-client"
})

TODO

  • fix syntax highlighting on successive request
  • allow to prefill the initial request
