Postman Environment Support

[rajib-raiyat]

Can you please make a environment support for your software ?

python postman_doc_gen.py [path/to/collection] -o [path/to/output/folder] -i [path/to/postman_enviroment]

@rajib-raiyat can you be more specific? The tool supports applying environments already

[rajib-raiyat]

@karthiks3000 Thanks for your support.

I have postman collections and in this collection I have some variables, suppose one of them {{base_url}}. So when I want to make a documentation there is no option(as far as I know) to set my postman environment with the collection in postman-doc-gen.

So as a result, I got the URL in documentation which looks like {{base_url}}/api/user. But If I can provide the environment then the URL will look like example.com/api/user

So the tool does support environment variables, but they are applied to the examples associated with each request.

To apply environment values to the examples, use the following command -

./postman_doc_gen [path/to/collection] -o [path/to/output/folder] -e [path/to/environment/json]

OK thanks. But what if I want to use Build localy ? Or how to use this software in linux ?

[karthiks3000]

The readme has the steps to build locally.

[rajib-raiyat]

Yes, I know how to build locally. But I want to use environment in build locally method. Which you describe in this comment.

[karthiks3000]

You just modify the build locally command as per the above example

python postman_doc_gen [path/to/collection] -o [path/to/output/folder] -e [path/to/environment/json]
