What does HackerNews think of vscode-restclient?

For a team using VSCode you can try the vscode-restclient[1]

But really Hurl looks really interesting, being editor agnostic is the best solution for your problem, I agree.

How does this compare to https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

I switched to "vscode-restclient" about a year ago and never looked back. It has variables, everything is saved as text, and I can commit my request suite to source control for collaboration's sake.

For simple requests where it's just convenient to have them in a list, with a description/easy to find for replaying, a VSCode extension like Rest Client [0] can be useful instead of the desktop apps. Well, VSCode is a desktop app too, but if you already use it... :P

I like it because you can just write a text file with the request and any comments you need around them, and... being just text, it's so easy to manipulate.

When I need scripts for special auth I fall back to postman though, haven't digged enough to see if I can make it work with that addon (or any other one).

Also there's Thunder Client [1] which I haven't tried but apparenly has more features.

I've started using Restclient, a VS Code plugin [1]. It allows me to easily add test scripts/requests to my normal GitHub workflow and share them with team mates.

I'm pretty happy with the features of the vscode-restclient called VS Code extension. https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

Obligatory VSCode love.

vscode-restclient[1] is a fantastic piece of work. You create a .http file and write what looks like raw HTTP requests (syntax highlighting and autocomplete included). The biggest "feature" for me is that it's incredibly source control friendly. All of our services have documentation in the form of an HTTP "script" right alongside the code.
