Request.vim is a Vim Plugin to make HTTP requests inside Vim. Yes. you don't need to use Insomnia or Curl if you are using Request.vim.
Use your favorite Vim Plugin manager, like
Vim Plug:
call plug#begin()
Plug 'edersonferreira/request-vim'
call plug#end()
Request.vim uses JSON files to get the type, url, body and headers of the HTTP request.
Create a JSON file (only the JSON syntax, the file extension is opicional) like Get.json
Put the type, url (obrigatory), body and headers (opicional) in the file.
{
"type": "get",
"url": "http://example.com"
}Now, you can run the command Request to use the Request.vim, and the output will be shown in the bottom.
Output:
}

width: 600px;
margin: 5em auto;
padding: 2em;
background-color: #fdfdff;
border-radius: 0.5em;
box-shadow: 2px 3px 7px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);
}
a:link, a:visited {

@media (max-width: 700px) {

Create a JSON file with the type, url, body or/and the headers:
{
"type": "post",
"url": "https://postman-echo.com/post",
"body": {
"data": "hello"
}
}
And the output will be the request code and body (like the get request).
Output:
