RequestTemplater
RequestTemplater is a class for generating HTTP request examples based on templates for different programming languages.
Example
Installation
To install RequestTemplater, run the following command:
npm install request-templater
Usage
To get started with RequestTemplater, create an instance of the class:
import RequestTemplater from 'request-templater';
const requestTemplater = new RequestTemplater();
Then you can set the base URL and other request parameters:
requestTemplater.baseUrl('https://example.com/api')
.method('GET')
.url('users/123')
.params([
{ in: 'query', name: 'page', value: '1' },
{ in: 'query', name: 'limit', value: '10' },
{ in: 'headers', name: 'Authorization', value: 'Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxx' }
]);
After that, you can generate a request example for the desired language:
const code = requestTemplater.lang('javascript').library('axios').generate();
console.log(code);
In this example, code in the JavaScript language will be generated using the Axios library.
