A Postman-like API client for protobuf-based messages.
- Register your .proto files to enable protobuf-related features. Right click on the collection, select 'Manage .proto files' to register the file paths.
-
The rest of the request-building interface is similar to Postman.
a. Enter your good old http request parameters (method, url, headers)
b. Select request/response proto messages you want.
c. Fill out the fields in your request proto message.
d. Click send.
e. The response is shown below the request section.
- As of version 0.2.0, you can also set up environments, and reuse variables there throughout your requests on the top-right corner!
- As of version 0.3.0, you can also import / export collections as JSON
- When importing a collection, all the proto definitions / path to .proto files are also imported. Hence, it's recommended to fix the paths to keep the proto definitions up-to-date.
- Note that it's not compatible with Postman collections.
-
As of version 0.4.0, you can also reorder requests / set different expected messages for success(2XX) and failures(others)
-
That's it for the current version. Enjoy and leave a star if you like it !
Protoman Setup 0.4.0.exe - Unlike mac, I don't currently own a license to sign the app. So it might give you some security warnings!
As a fallback, you can clone the repo and run npm install && npm run build to build, and npm run start to launch the app. Or, you can actually find configurations on electron builder to get the right distribution version yourself!
