[Feature] URL Parameters

[khaosdoctor]

This is a feature request

What

Allow to have URL parameters like some/:id which would be added in a new section called parameters besides query and headers, this could be automatically picked up by using a regex like (?:\/)(\:.*)(?:\/?).

This would allow us to keep the URLs more configurable

I was just looking for the same thing 👍

This feature would greatly help me to adopt posting as a fulltime replacement for postman :)

This is especially useful for get requests. So far loving the tool, but I'd rather have a single url such as /users/:id and then manage the user id in a path parameter / variable section versus continually going up and editing the url.

I'm wondering if overriding variables/the environment on a per-request basis would solve this for people.

I think path parameters is such a crucial and common part in the HTTP API world that it deserves it own section, like "Query" does. I was checking how Bruno does this: It auto detect when you type a colon followed by slash - like /users/:user_id/connect - and then populate a "user_id" item in the Path Parameters section

We can also have a Path Parameters section that is less dynamic: Users needs to define path parameter variables beforehand -> If a curly brace section in the URL - like /users/{user_id}/connect - matches one of the path parameters' name then it gets interpolated. Otherwise keep as is

I'm working on this feature now:
