httpyac-plugin-yaml-body

HttpYac plugin to enable yaml notation for sending JSON request bodies. Pure syntactic sugar!

Installation

npm install httpyac-plugin-yaml-body --save

Usage

Plugin adds syntactic sugar to ease dealing with JSON bodies. With the plugin, the body can be in yaml format, which will be converted to JSON before the request is send. The correct Content-Type application/json will be set too, if not yet provided. Ensure the first body line contains the yaml header to detect the format. Example:

POST http://localhost:8080
---
id: 1

gets translated to

POST http://localhost:8080
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "id": 1
}

Enforce Yaml

In case of a Content-Type header besides application/json or application/vnd.api+json is present, no conversion happens, even body is yaml.
