go install github.com/jbchouinard/wmt@latest# wmt opt set editor "code -w -n"
# wmt opt set editor "subl -w -n"
# wmt opt set editor "vim"
wmt env use dev
wmt env set baseUrl http://localhost:8080/v1
wmt request add createPerson POST /person --template
# Edit, save and close editor:
# {
# firstName: "{{.firstName}}"
# lastName: "{{.lastName}}"
# }
wmt request header createPerson Content-Type application/json
wmt request do createPerson -p firstName=Jane -p lastName=Smith
wmt request add getPerson GET "/person/{{.id}}"
wmt request do getPerson -p id=1wmt uses go templates. For basic variable substitution, use {{.foo}}.
Text templates do not have any security features. HTML templates (created with the --html flag)
are safe against HTML code injection.
See the go documentation for advanced features:
wmt template listwmt template add <name> [--html]wmt template edit <name>wmt template delete <name>wmt template eval <name> [-p <param>=<value>...]List all options:
wmt optGet an option value:
wmt opt <key>Set an option value (set to _ to clear the option):
wmt opt <key> <value>| Key | Values | Default | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| clipboard | yes/no | no | Enable clipboard integration? |
| history | yes/no | yes | Save history? |
| editor | * | nano | Text editor to spawn. |
If using a GUI text editor, the text editor command should not return until
the window is closed. For example, use code -w for VS Code.
wmt uuid [--v4]Generate a UUID (default: V1).
wmt history <command>Show history for a command.
wmt purge [--keep-days n]Purge history, keeping n days (default: 7);
wmt tries to stores its files in <HOME>/.wmt. If that fails, it tries <CURRENTDIR>/.wmt.
The location can be changed by setting the WMT_DIR environment variable.
