What problem does it solve?
Keeping a Postman collection up to date for a changing Rails API is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when endpoints, params, and auth requirements evolve.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Route-to-collection generation: Builds Postman requests for every Rails endpoint found in config/routes.rb.
- Controller-aware request/response modeling: Extracts parameters, request/response shapes, status codes, and authentication requirements from app/controllers/api/.
- Spec-driven examples: Uses RSpec request specs from spec/requests/api/v1/ to populate example request bodies and responses.
- Auth-ready workflows: Includes {{base_url}} and {{api_token}} variables and generates login-related test scripts that auto-save tokens.
