Httpyac-import NPM

httpyac-import

CLI to convert a postman collection to httpyac file or files.

Usage

httpyac-import --sourcePath=sample.postman_collection.json --targetPath=output

sourcePath - path to the Postman collection json file
targetPath - path to the root of the .http files, will be created if it doesn't exist
ignoreHeaders - optional list of headers to ignore, useful when using default headers. Supports regex patterns (eg SomeHeader.*)
splitRequests - determines whether to split requests into separate files. Optional, defaults to true
target - either file or console, defaults to file
purgeTargetPath - determines whether to delete target path. Optional, defaults to false

Request Lines

Request lines are parsed and split onto multiple lines:

GET https://www.google.de?option=value

Will be output as:

GET https://www.google.de
    ?option=value

Scripts

Pre-request Scripts

All pre-request scripts will be commented out and marked with a TODO:

console.log('Some pre-request script');

Will be converted to:

{{
// TODO: Fixup Postman pre-request script
// console.log('Some pre-request script');
}}

Test Scripts

The utility attempts to convert the basic post-request test scripts to the httpyac equivalent:

Given a simple status test:

pm.test("Status test", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(201);
});

Will be converted to the concise httpyac equivalent:

?? status == 201

Two more known patterns will be converted to the the httpyac equivalent:

pm.test("Status test", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(201);
    pm.environment.set("someId", pm.response.json().id);
    pm.environment.set("someEtag", pm.response.headers.get("Etag"));
});

Will be converted to:

?? status == 201

{{
    $global.someId = response.parsedBody.id;
    $global.someEtag = response.headers.etag;
}}

More complicated assertions will be commented out and marked with a TODO:

pm.test("Status test", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(201);
    console.log(pm.response.json().id);
});

Will be converted to:

?? status == 201

{{
// TODO: Fixup Postman test script
// pm.test("Status test", function () {
//     pm.response.to.have.status(201);
//     console.log(pm.response.json().id);
// });
}}
