Ah yes, adding this to the list of things for the plugin system to support.
Insomnia now uses faker to generate as of PR from few days ago. I also would like to see timestamp stuff that is simple and easy to use just like in .HTTP files using
{{$localDatetime iso8601 6 M}}to generate datetimes, client-side guids etc. I feel like, instead of being a plugin, it could be a core feature with existing global variables that the user can extend if they want to. My first time participating here, let me know if my comments could be improved. Thanks.Ahmed Ifhaam It's definitely a great suggestion! And it's also interesting that Insomnia finally included one of the most popular plugins by default. I think that's a great way of approaching feature development: start as plugin, if plugin is used by most people, build it into the core app.
The plugin system is ready to support this. Hoping to get it out there in the next release! The plan is to make it a first-party plugin to be installed by the user.
You can now install the Faker plugin in
2024.10.0-beta.3or later! The plugin is still mostly a demo to dogfood the new plugin system, so please give it a try and let me know what you think.Instructions in README → https://github.com/yaakapp/plugin-faker
