Here are the three big things included in this release.
Official Plugin Directory
GraphQL Documentation Explorer Embeddable Run-in-Yaak button
Plus a pile of fixes based on your feedback . Let’s dig in.
🧩 Official Plugin Directory It was previously possible to create custom plugins for yourself, but there was no
easy way to discover or share them. Now you can browse and install plugins directly
from
Yaak’s settings dialog!
Install community plugins from Settings → Plugins
Plugins also show up on the Plugins Directory on this website. It’s still
early, so if you have an idea and want to submit your own, visit
the Quick Start Guide .
To learn how.
The following plugin types are currently supported:
Template functions
Custom themes
Authentication
Custom data importer
Request actions like “Copy as Curl”
Most plugins are only a couple dozen lines of TypeScript, and can be published in less
than 5 minutes using the Yaak CLI.
📖 GraphQL Documentation Explorer You can now browse your GraphQL schema directly inside Yaak!
The GraphQL Docs Explorer makes it easy to navigate types, fields, queries, mutations, and
arguments all without leaving the request tab.
It’s perfect for exploring unfamiliar APIs or refreshing your memory without having to
use an external tool like GraphiQL.
Shout out to Mr0Bread for the initial implementation
in #208
▶️ Embeddable Run Button You can now embed a “run button” on any web page (like your API docs) that will prompt
the user to import it into Yaak when clicked.
Create your own button by visiting yaak.app/button/new .
Clicking the button will open Yaak and prompt to import
Creating a button requires the following:
A friendly name (eg. Stripe API)
A link to an importable spec (Yaak, Postman, OpenAPI, etc.)
🔐 API Key Authentication There’s a new “API Key” authentication type to easily add an API key as a custom header
or query parameter.
Authenticate requests with an API key
