Normalize Filename

[helloanoop]

Bruno saves requests as files, where the file name is derived from the request name. This can create issues because certain characters are not allowed in file names due to OS constraints.

Currently, we use the following code to normalize file names:

export const normalizeFileName = (name) => {
  if (!name) {
    return name;
  }

  const validChars = /[^\w\s-]/g;
  const formattedName = name.replace(validChars, '-');

  return formattedName;
};

However, this approach has limitations.

To improve this, Bruno supports a name property within each .bru file. This allows us to use any characters for the request name while only needing to normalize the file name part.

We have some UX ideas on how to enable this, which we share soon. Please standby for more updates.
