Description

feat: Random Data Placeholders for Request Body

fixes: #3610
fixes : #620

Changes Introduced

  • Integrated functionality to replace placeholders in request bodies with dynamically generated random data.
  • Added utility functions in variable-replacer.js to support a variety of random data formats (UUIDs, timestamps, IPs, etc.).
  • Updated RequestTabPanel to preprocess request bodies and replace placeholders before sending requests.

Benefits

  • Enhances API testing by allowing dynamic data in request payloads.
  • Supports various placeholder types, improving test coverage and flexibility.

Testing

  • Verified functionality by sending requests with different placeholders and checking if the data was correctly replaced.

Notes

  • Placeholder syntax follows the format "$". A comprehensive list of supported placeholders is available in variable-replacer.js.

How is this different from #3609? Honestly, the syntax of #3609 seems more straightforward to me.

This is done on the front-end, so it's calculation is done by the client. The other one that you quoted is done on the backend, and most importantly, this is more lengthier because it supports more placeholders.

#3609 supports about 40ish mine supports over 100!
