Curl Web

What is it?

Another postman or paw

Tasks

Level 1

• Improve the design of the list of available queries (left side)
• Improve the design of the Query View
• Can edit the name of the queries (currently it is query.method + query.url)
• Can clone queries
• Persist queries on localstorage

Level 2

• Add a global context
• Choose / manage environments (ie. default hostname)
• Choose / manage profiles (ie. user token )
• Persisted on localstorage
• Can lock queries (no further change on url & headers & params can be made unless you clone it)
• Create groups of queries
• Automatically group queries by hostname
• Create a new group manually and add queries to it
• Add Query History
• list of recently triggered queries
• last status of a query
• separate GET params from URL
• use flexbox instead of float-left or col-xx-n
• add tabs: ability to add new tabs to edit queries

Level 3

• Dynamic headers/params (function(context, queries))
• pre-request scripts ( can trigger other queries and the result would be set in the context, useful to get a token before doing an API call )
• Oauth authentication
• shareable (via link)

Level Hardcore

• use redux to handle queries manipulations

• ctrl-z [depends on redux]

• fix the cors issue ( ie. create node/nginx proxy )

• tests

• JSONschema

• check any variable (like response time, size …)

• full suite ( ie. full group of queries )

Rules

• Should work on all modern browsers ( at least latest chrome, latest firefox )
• Only JSON. The body sent and data received are expected to be JSON only.
• Don't be shy: if you need external dependencies or if you need to refactor a large part of the code, go for it!
• Your ideas come first: if you think something should be done but is not in this list, do it!

How to setup

git clone https://github.com/marg51/curl-web.git
cd curl-web
npm install
npm run build
npm start

At this point, you can open your browser at http://localhost:8080 and it should work.

If you get a 404 when you reload, go the root URL everytime.

If you don't want that to happen, you can use the attached nginx.conf. Don't forget to update the path (line 8 of nginx.conf)

If you're on linux, add it to /etc/nginx/conf.d/ If you're on mac, add it to /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/

if nginx is already started: sudo nginx -s reload or sudo nginx
