Persisting and sharing Insomnia projects using Git

• insomnia

  225 33,067 9.7 JavaScript

  The open-source, cross-platform API client for GraphQL, REST, WebSockets, SSE and gRPC. With Cloud, Local and Git storage.

  

Insomnia uses a database structure internally to store the project data (i.e. request collection). Usefully, we can instruct Insomnia where to look for and save said data manually, using the INSOMNIA_DATA_PATH environment variable.

• tmux

  207 32,923 8.3 C

  tmux source code

  

The last icing on top of this solution is running the Insomnia process in the background. When using the alias from before, it will occupy a terminal until Insomnia exits. This is no big deal, but in the interest of keeping things clean, I've opted to run the command in a tmux session. Out of sight, out of mind.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• Newman

  241 6,718 7.5 JavaScript

  Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman

  

The popular Insomnia alternative Postman has built-in collaboration features, but is, as of writing, limited to 3 people unless you get your wallet out.h
