🔑 Access 1Password secrets

Yaak already provides end-to-end encryption for sharing secrets securely, but this still required copying secrets from 1Password or other tools. Now you can use the official 1Password template function to access secrets directly from Yaak!

1Password template function

Access secrets directly from Yaak using the 1password.item() function

This function is implemented as a bundled plugin and uses the official @1password/sdk JS package to interact securely with 1Password. The only requirement is to create a new service account from the 1Password website (Developer → Service Accounts) and copy the generated API key into Yaak.

🔬 Conditionally enable authentication

It is now possible to enable authentication based on variables within the active environment. This makes it easy to interact with APIs that require authentication in production but not in development.

Conditional authentication

Enable authentication conditionally with the new “Enabled When…” option

When the new Enabled When… option is selected, an input appears where you can enter any template expression. If the expression renders to a non-empty string, authentication will be enabled. If it errors or renders to an empty string, authentication will be disabled.

🪄 Header completion for request/response functions

Yaak now provides autocomplete for headers in the request.headers() and response.headers() template functions, making it easier to find the right header for any request or response. Simply start typing, or press Control+Space, to see available headers.

💾 Prompt value persistence

The prompt.* template functions let you ask for input on every request—useful when you require a unique value each time.

This release adds the ability to persist these values across multiple requests.

Persist prompt values

You can now:

  • Expire values after a chosen time
  • Persist values per active environment
  • Persist values per request

🎋 Improved Git compatibility

This release brings a batch of improvements to working with Git:

  • Manage remotes directly in Yaak
  • Prompt to select a remote on push/pull if none exist
  • Support for HTTP remotes that require authentication
Manage git remotes

Yaak prompts to add a remote if none are configured ye

⚠️ JSON body validation

Yaak now automatically lints JSON in the request body (and other fields) and displays any errors. Linting is template-aware, so you can still use template functions inside JSON.

JSON linting

JSON errors are displayed anywhere JSON is edited in Yaa

🛡️ Windows NTLM authentication

Yaak now supports Windows NTLM authentication! Not much more to say—go try it out and let me know if you run into any issues.

👀 Show relevant arguments in template function tags

The template function plugin API now supports a new previewArgs parameter. When configured, the values of these preview arguments are displayed inside the template function tag—providing more context when scanning requests.

📄 Override file names for multi-part form files

When uploading multi-part files, it’s now possible to override the file name in the request body. Previously, the name was always derived from the selected file, which wasn’t always desirable.
