Har2Postman

Javascript Har to Postman converter. THIS PROJECT IS RIGHT NOW UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT

Purpose

The main goal of the project is the creation of a JS library to convert .har files to Postman requests/collection in .JSON format.

HTTP Archive format or HAR files are a JSON-formatted archive file format for logging of a web browser's interaction with a site (HTTP transactions).

On the other hand Postman is a testing API client tool, allowing us to test a request against a specific environment.

The intended audience is, therefore, anybody who finds a use case where this library is useful in any way.

Roadmap

Please note every version should include a suite of test cases ensuring new requirements are working. The last test case of the suite should check the library produces a JSON output matching the content of the file /test/x.x.x/output.json given a JSON input matching the content of the file /test/x.x.x/input.json.

v0.1.0 - Convert simplest GET request from HAR to Postman

• Create a first basic JS createPostmanCollection function able to produce a valid postman collection including the expected file () and item (request itself) objects out of a har file.
• Create a CI pipeline, executing jasmine tests on every push and updating the Har2Postman in npm if new tag is released.

v0.2.0 - Create simple postman test for a GET request

• The output file should also include basic test assertions in GET requests for postman based on the response section from har file.
• The createPostmanCollection function should include a second optional boolean argument to decide whether the output should include the test section or not. By default, the behaviour of the boolean flag should be false.

v0.3.0 - GET request might include query params

• A GET request might include multiple query params; those should also be mapped from the har file to the postman collection. Evaluate whether they should be all included as part of the test.

Future features still to be planned

• HAR could contain multiple requests and all them should be included in the postman collection
• POST, PUT and DELETE methods possibly containing body should also be considered
• Requests could include some way of authorization
• Requests might include headers
