ijhttp Client

Русская версия

VS Code/Cursor extension for JetBrains HTTP Client .http files.

Request execution is delegated to the installed ijhttp CLI. The extension does not contain its own HTTP runtime.

Important

Execution works only when ijhttp is installed in the system and available in PATH, or when the binary path is configured via ijhttp-client.ijhttpPath.

Without ijhttp, the extension still provides:

• syntax highlighting
• basic syntax diagnostics
• request block detection
• CodeLens for runnable request blocks

Features

• highlights .http files
• detects request blocks separated by ###
• runs the current request block through system ijhttp
• runs all request blocks from the current file through system ijhttp
• auto-discovers http-client.env.json and http-client.private.env.json
• supports common JetBrains HTTP Client constructs such as # @name, {{variables}}, pre-request scripts, and response-handler scripts
• saves full HTTP response dumps as *.response files in a local .response/ folder and appends history comments like # <> ./.response/... below executed requests

Usage

### ping
GET https://example.com/api/ping
Accept: application/json

Run the current request block with:

• CodeLens Run with ijhttp
• command ijhttp Client: Run Current Request
• shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R / Cmd+Alt+R

Run all request blocks from the current file with:

• top-of-file CodeLens Run all with ijhttp
• command ijhttp Client: Run All Requests in File
• editor context menu action Run All Requests in File

Settings

• ijhttp-client.ijhttpPath
• ijhttp-client.environment
• ijhttp-client.envFile
• ijhttp-client.privateEnvFile
• ijhttp-client.logLevel
• ijhttp-client.enableRunCodeLens
