Feature request: pre-request script and post-request script #1454

Open kamalhm opened 1 year ago

kamalhm commented 1 year ago

Checklist

Enhancement request

Please add pre and post request script.

Problem it solves

Sometimes when working with secure API that needs to create a request signature using complicated stuff (e.g hashing the host, request url, request body, etc) it's tiresome to manually create it and then add it to request header.

Having access to pre-request script, generate the signature, and use the generated signature to a certain header will be useful.

Post-request script: also on the case of secure API, we may need to get a token and that token now needs to be included on every request on certain header. or maybe we've hit a login endpoint and now want to store the JWT token from the response to a variable

Additional information, screenshots, or code examples

Similar to pre-request script in and test-script (post-request script) in postman

Hey @kamalhm, scripting is definitely on our roadmap. Thanks for the feedback!

Has there been any progress on this?

🤞 hope it comes out soon... Looking at https://hoppscotch.io in the mean time

Is there an update on that topic? It would really simplify the process of working with bearer tokens in requests. It would be great to write a script to take the bearer token from a login request and to automatically write to a defined variable...
