-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-t, --target <target> target output

process single file (assumes HAR Request Object Format):
{
"method": "POST",
"url": "http://mockbin.com/request",
"httpVersion": "HTTP/1.1",
"queryString": [
{ "name": "foo", "value": "bar" },
{ "name": "foo", "value": "baz" },
{ "name": "baz", "value": "abc" }
],

}
}
httpsnippet my-api-endpoint.json --target php --output ./snippets
$ tree snippets

└── my-api-endpoint.php
process multiple files:
httpsnippet /*.json --target node --client native --output ./snippets
$ tree sources/

var httpsnippet = require('httpsnippet');
var snippet = new httpsnippet({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://mockbin.com/request'
});
// generate cURL output
console.log(snippet.convert('curl', {
indent: '\t';
}));
// generate nodeJS output
console.log(snippet.convert('node'));
// generate PHP output
console.log(snippet.convert('php', 'curl'));
At the heart of this module is the HAR Request object as the http request description format, please review some of the sample JSON HAR Request objects in test fixtures, or read the HAR Docs for more details.
output targets are simple modules that expose a constructor (which handles the transformation) and a meta info
property.
module.exports = function (opts) {
// optionally process `opts` object for target specific configuration
//
// process `this.source` object
//
// return processed output as string
};
module.exports.info = {
key: 'curl',
title: 'cURL',
link: 'http://curl.haxx.se/',
description: 'curl is a command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax',
extname: '.sh'
};
