Variable Support in Raw Body Editor #3517

Closed kbuzby closed 4 years ago

kbuzby commented 7 years ago

App Details:

Postman for Chrome
Version 5.2.0
win / x86-64
Chrome 60.0.3112.113

Issue Report:

  1. Did you encounter this recently, or has this bug always been there: seems like it's been there
  2. Expected behaviour: normal variable support in the raw body editor

In a POST request:

When using the raw editor you can use environment and global variables, but you don't get the same assistance as you do elsewhere, where you get autocomplete or even the visibility if the variable is defined globally / in the selected environment.

Thanks for the suggestion @kbuzby. We are constantly working on improving the ease of using variables and your feedback helps a lot.

It would already make a big difference for us if you could just show the regular variable mouse-over / tooltip window (with the initial / current value + scope) for variables in the Raw Body Editor - the same window you show when hovering the mouse over variables in other text fields.

@vkaegis - any updates on this?

vkaegis commented 5 years ago

@gekonwi No ETA on this just yet. Our editor itself requires some tweaking to enable this, so waiting on some prerequisite tasks.

Hey @vkaegis is there any progress on this one?

I know our team at PayPal would make big usage of variable autocompletion in the raw request body.

Thanks!

Syntax highlighting and variable autocompletion makes for a truly awesome update – thank you @arlemi!

@Millais Glad you like it! Switching our editors to Monaco allows us to do much more with it, and you can expect some more improvements around this in future releases. 🙂

JaixTim commented 3 years ago

@arlemi You closed this issue but there is still no tooltip support for showing values of variables in the body as per other fields in the app. Is there a separate issue for that or do I need to raise one?
