Designer - Option for auto refreshing/polling OpenAPI schema

[wkrueger]

Target

Insomnia designer.

Use case

I'm loading an auto-generated OpenAPI schema from http://localhost:3000/api-json. As I develop the application and it auto-reloads, I have to copy-paste the JSON schema from the browser to Insomnia Designer for updates.

Feature idea

Add an option to poll the source from time to time to update the schema. Lock the inline editing if this is enabled.

+1 This would be really useful, same use case for our team as described by @wkrueger

While we currently don't have any plans to add this functionality ourselves, would be open to a PR which adds this functionality

Its the same for remote right? For example, if i am pulling in github OAS from remote uri, does it automatically refresh or is it point in time?

i still feel this is a useful feature and needs some form of polling behind the scenes.

Definitely. We're just moving ideas and feature requests to Discussions to keep things a bit cleaner and allow everyone to more easily discuss and upvote these ideas. I personally love this one. Seems like it would streamline development a lot.

This would greatly help in my API development as well, IDK how many times I've re-imported the schema from a URL at this point, 100's of times.

This would really help my development workflow more easily. Please add this feature.
