A very fast, powerful, extensible and asynchronous Neovim HTTP client written in Lua.
rest.nvim
by default makes use of its own curl
wrapper made in pure Lua and a tree-sitter parser to parse http
files. So what you can run get exact and detailed result what you see from your editor!
In addition to this, you can also write integrations with external HTTP clients, such as the postman CLI.
Important
If you are facing issues, please report them so we can work in a fix together :)

Important
You need lazy.nvim higher than v11 to install rockspec dependencies
No .setup()
call is needed! Just set your options via vim.g.rest_nvim
. It is fully documented and typed internally so you get a good experience during autocompletion :)

Note
You can also check out :h rest-nvim.config
for documentation.

Create a new http file or open an existing one and run the :Rest run {name}
command, or just place the cursor over the request and simply run :Rest run
.
Method Request-URI HTTP-Version
Header-field: Header-value
Request-Body
By default rest.nvim
does not have any key mappings except the result buffers so you will not have conflicts with any of your existing ones.
:Rest open
Open result pane :Rest run
Run request under the cursor :Rest run {name}
Run request with name {name}
:Rest last
Run last request :Rest logs
Edit logs file :Rest cookies
Edit cookies file :Rest env show
Show dotenv file registered to current .http
file :Rest env select
Select & register .env
file with vim.ui.select()
:Rest env set {path}
Register .env
file to current .http

subcommands opening new window supportcommand-modifiers
(:h command-modifiers

to open result pane in horizontal split.
See :h rest-nvim.commands

http://localhost:8000 # @lang=lua > {% local json = vim.json.decode(response.body) json.data = "overwritten" response.body = vim.json.encode(json) %}
Put # @lang=lua
comment just above any script elements. Scripts without @lang
will be parsed as javascript code to match with http spec.
rest.nvim
provides a [telescope.nvim] extension to select the environment variables file, you can load and use it with the following snippet:
-- first load extension require("telescope").load_extension("rest") -- then use it, you can also use the `:Telescope rest select_env` command require("telescope").extensions.rest.select_env()
Here is a preview of the extension working :)
config.env.pattern
: For env file pattern (lua-pattern)We also have lualine component to get what env file you select!
And don't worry, it will only show up under HTTP files.
-- Just add a component in your lualine config { sections = { lualine_x = { "rest" } } } -- To use a custom icon and color { sections = { lualine_x = { { "rest", icon = "", fg = "#428890" } } } }
Here is a preview of the component working :)
