Useful to explode! The IDEA version of Postman is available, and the function is really powerful!

IDEA is the most commonly used development tool. Many programmers want to make it a one-stop development platform, so they install various plug-ins. Recently I found an IDEA plugin RestfulFastRequest , the details are really good, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the IDEA version of Postman, I recommend it to everyone!

Introduction to RestfulFastRequest

RestfulFastRequest Known as the IDEA version of Postman. It is a powerful Restful API toolkit plugin that can quickly generate interface debugging use cases based on existing methods. It has a beautiful interface to complete requests, check server responses, store your API requests and export API requests, this plugin can help you debug your API faster and more efficiently within IDEA!

The following is a rendering of using RestfulFastRequest debug the mall project API interface, it is very convenient to use!

Install

First let's install RestfulFastRequest plugin.

• We can open IDEA's plug-in market and search for it RestfulFastRequest , it looks like a paid plug-in, and if you look closely at the description of the plug-in, you can find that it has a free version. It seems that the author is quite conscientious!

• Click 免费版 connect to download the plugin installation package directly, download address: https://github.com/dromara/fast-request/issues/61

• After the download is complete, simply choose to install the plugin from the local disk.

use

Next, let's use the RestfulFastRequest plugin to see if it works as well as Postman!

Create project and environment

• Click the FastRequest button on the right side of IDEA to open the plug-in panel. For the first use, you need to configure the project name and environment name first;

• Click 管理配置 button to configure, configure the project name, and the environment name, here are the access addresses of the two environments dev and prod ;

• After selecting the project name and environment, you can start debugging the API interface.

Debug API interface

• Click the 小火箭 button on the left side of the interface to directly generate the information required to call the interface, and after modifying the parameters, it can be called directly;

• Click 小飞机 button to send the request, and you can receive the formatted JSON data.

Quickly add Header

• Friends who have studied my mall project should know that many interfaces in the project can only be accessed after successful login, such as this interface for obtaining the user list;

• I can quickly add authentication headers by selecting return info;

• Modify the Header name to Authorization and add the Bearer prefix to the token;

• Next, you can access the interface that requires login authentication and access it normally.

JSON syntax check

• It is worth mentioning that the plugin supports JSON very well, not only supports highlighting, but also supports folding;

• It can also prompt when the incoming JSON parameter format is incorrect.

CURL copy

You can also copy commands via the CURL button if you want to use the CURL tool.

API list

When we debug the interface, we can save the interface and debugging information to the API list by pressing the save button.

API Navigation

All interfaces can be viewed in the API navigation, and the first time you need to click the refresh button to load.

Reverse targeting API code

Double-clicking the interface information can directly locate the code in reverse direction, and it is convenient to find the code through the interface!

API search

The 搜索 button enables easy API search.

Export to Postman

• If you still want to use Postman, you can directly export the interface information through the 导出到Postman function;

• After the export is successful, import the JSON configuration file in Postman to use it;

• After the import is successful, the display effect is as follows, but only the saved API can be exported, and all APIs cannot be directly exported.

Summarize

I experienced a RestfulFastRequest this plug-in today, the experience is really good, the debugging interface is basically enough for developers! In particular, it can directly generate debugging information according to the interface code, and can directly locate the code according to the interface, which really improves the efficiency of developers!
