HTTP Request Helper

Description

make_requests_cli is a command-line interface (CLI) tool built in Go (Golang) that allows users to interactively create and manage HTTP requests. It provides a simple and intuitive way to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on requests, as well as sending HTTP requests to a specified endpoint.

Features

• Create, read, and delete templates
• Create, read, and delete requests
• Send HTTP POST, GET, and DELETE requests
• Interactive user interface for easy operation

Setup

To use make_requests_cli, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository or download the source code.

git clone https://github.com/omar0ali/make_requests_cli

2. Install Go if you haven't already (https://golang.org/doc/install).
3. Navigate to the project directory in your terminal.
4. Build the application by running go build ..
5. Run the application. go run .
6. Follow the prompts to interactively create and manage templates and requests, as well as send HTTP requests.

Example Usage: Without Using Tview UI Design Improvement

Here's an example of how to use make_requests_cli:

1. Run the application.
2. Follow the prompts to create a template with a specified URL, port number, and HTTPS option.
3. Create a request using the created template and specify the path.
4. Select the request type (POST, GET, DELETE) and enter any required data.
5. Send the HTTP request and view the response.

Example Usage: With Tview UI Design Improvement

(Under Development)

TView Library (https://github.com/rivo/tview)

To try a demo make the following changes to the app.go file.

func main() {
	database.Connect()
	sqlDB, err := database.DB.DB()
	if err != nil {
		panic("Problem: with getting db.")
	}
	defer sqlDB.Close()

	RunApp(NEW)
    //RunApp(OLD)
}

Notes

• The application provides guidance and reminders throughout the process, such as reminding users that field names are case-sensitive and should match the backend.
• There are multiple ways to close the application: you can choose the '0' option to exit, or you can close it by pressing CTRL+C.
• Note: This app might not be easy or convenient to use for everyone, although I created it to make my workflow easier for testing my backend API and other tasks.

Dependencies

• Golang (https://golang.org/)
• External dependencies managed via Go modules
