Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Insomnia plugin to format request / responses

Format a request / response from within Insomnia REST Client! The result is copied to the clipboard. Currently, a request / reponse is formatted as HTML and plain text.

Pre-requisites

This plugin requires Insomnia, the Open Source API client.

Installation

  1. Start Insomnia,

  2. Click "Application" -> "Preferences" and choose the "Plugins" tab,

  3. Enter insomnia-plugin-prettyprint-request-response and click "Install Plugin",

    Plugin Installation

  4. Close the dialog.

Usage

  1. Go to a request in any collection,

  2. Click on the request drop down menu and select Copy last response as HTML. The request and last response are copied to the clipboard:

    Copy last response as HTML

  3. Switch to any application capable of accepting HTML from the clipboard and paste. Requests are formatted based on the response code. The following examples show a request / response rendered in a new Microsoft Word document:

    • Success responses codes are formatted over a green background:

      Pasted request / response - success

    • Failed response codes are formatted over a red background:

      Pasted request / response - failure

Limitations and known issues

This plugin works by exporting the request as HAR and formatting the result. There are currently a few known limitations or known issues which can cause the plugin to fail. These are due to Insomnia Plugin APIs limitations or bugs. This list will be updated as issues are addressed or new APIs become available:

  • Only the last response can currently be exported. Insomnia plugin APIs do not allow acessing the currently selected response in the response drop down,
  • Formatting the request may fail if any request in any Insomnia collection fails to export. Insomnia plugin APIs do not currently allow to export one request / response from a request action plugin.

Future Improvements

Enhancements include:

  • Various formatting themes,
  • Format HTTP client errors differently then HTTP server errors,
  • Allow request / response body trimming,
  • Obfuscate / hide headers related to Personally Identifiable Information or secrets (Authorization, ...).
