More variables

[danieljharris]

It would be amazing if we could manually set variables in addition to assigning them from request responses.

Set variables something like this:

let url = "https://www.myapi.com";

let port = 3000;

let default_header = User-Agent: rest-book;

let name = "Foo";

And use them in later cells (maybe with better syntax):

POST ($url)($port)/api
$default_header
Content-Type: application/json

{
    name: $name,
    text: "Foo is the most bar of the Foos" 
}

And be able to reuse them throughout:

GET ($url)($port)/users
$default_header

Add ability to use constants like this in release 2.0.2:

I'll publish 2.0.2 on the marketplace once I get better reception

Pushed a new release with this for 2.1.0

[nat1craft]

I noticed that using the variable as the endpoint for a POST (for example) did not seem to work. If I however copy/pasted the value in place of the variable, it works fine. (v 2.1.0)

@nat1craft fixed in 2.2.0!

Confirmed; That is a really nice feature. Thanks again for your hard work!
