Frequently asked questions

Who is api-tester for?

Api-tester is a tool for Laravel developers, big and small.

What the library is for?

• Visualize your application routes.
• Send requests to those routes, configure what you send.
• Save those configured requests.
• Collaborate with your team, as saved requests can be shared via Git or any other VCS.

How it works?

It employs default Laravel router to get the list of routes and show them to you. To allow that sweet route recognition we use middleware that listens to RouteMatched event.

I don't use vanilla Laravel routing. Any advice?

Api-tester partially supports DingoApi and support becomes better with time.

There is an app called Postman. Does exactly the same. What's your point here?

We have our reasons:

• For Postman collaboration is not free.
• Postman has no idea about your app's routes.
• Libraries are fun to write. Try and see. :)
