Quickstart

  3. Run the command to generate a Postman collection and environment

    apib2postman <your-blueprint.apib> -o collection.json -e environment.json

    Specify a handlebar template to be used for each action's Postman tests. Variables are listed below which can be used within the template.

Postman Test Template

Some JS tests have been created which get templated and attached to every action. The default tests exist at templates/postman/js-tests.hbs

This template is applied to every action and the variables which get passed to this template are as follows:

Name Description Example
pathName The path of the group collection as a standardized name. networkDevices_ for /api/networkDevices/:id
isPageable Returns true if the response schema has a collection within true
