fontseca.dev's playground

playground

A screenshot of the initial version of the fontseca.dev's playground running with a collection exported from Postman.

The fontseca.dev's playground is a web-based HTTP client designed for testing APIs. It was originally built with the intent to have a dedicated space to showcase my work as a back-end engineer, but it can be used with other third-party APIs.

Features

The Playground currently supports HTTP/1.1 servers and allows importing Postman collections in JSON format. It handles

The playground supports the following HTTP methods:

  • GET,
  • POST,
  • PUT,
  • PATCH,
  • and DELETE.

HTTP request features

  • Query parameters
  • HTTP headers
  • HTTP body

The HTTP request body is passed as a raw string, with content differentiated by the Content-Type header.

HTTP response features

  • Response body
  • HTTP headers
  • Cookies

Getting Started

To get started working with the Playground, clone this repository and simply run the application. You'll need to install the templ command to generate the website code.

By default, the Playground is intended to be used as a plug-in within a wrapper project. I use it as a Git submodule in my website's codebase. If you want to run it separately, you'll have to create a go.mod file.

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone git@github.com:fontseca/playground.git
cd playground/

  2. Generate the website.templ file:

    ~/go/bin/templ generate
Processing path: /home/fontseca/playground
(!) templ version check failed: failed to read go.mod file: open /go.mod: no such file or directory
Generating production code: /home/fontseca/playground
(✓) Generated code for "/home/fontseca/playground/website.templ" in 26.710246ms
(✓) Generated code for 1 templates with 0 errors in 27.004517ms

  3. Start a Go module called playground:

    go mod init playground
go mod tidy

  4. And finally, run the Playground:

    go run cmd/playground/main.go
