codegen-csharp-restsharp

Converts Postman-SDK Request into code snippet for Csharp-RestSharp.

Prerequisite

To run Code-Gen, ensure that you have NodeJS >= v6. A copy of the NodeJS installable can be downloaded from https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager.

Using the Module

The module will expose an object which will have property convert which is the function for converting the Postman-SDK request to Csharp-RestSharp code snippetand getOptions function which returns an array of supported options.

convert function

Convert function will take three parameters

• request- Postman-SDK Request object

• options- options is an object which can have following properties

  • indentType- Character used for indentation
  • indentCount- The number of indentation characters to add per code level
  • includeBoilerplate - Include class definition and import statements in snippet
  • requestTimeout : The number of milliseconds the request should wait for a response before timing out (use 0 for infinity)
  • trimRequestBody : Trim request body fields
  • followRedirect : Automatically follow HTTP redirects

• callback- callback function with first parameter as error and second parameter as string for code snippet

Example:

var request = new sdk.Request('www.google.com'),  //using postman sdk to create request  
    options = {
        indentType: 'Space',
        indentCount: 2,
        includeBoilerplate: false
    };
convert(request, options, function(error, snippet) {
    if (error) {
        //  handle error
    }
    //  handle snippet
});

getOptions function

This function returns a list of options supported by this codegen.

var options = getOptions();

console.log(options);
// output
// [
//     {
//         name: 'Include boilerplate',
//         id: 'includeBoilerplate',
//         type: 'boolean',
//         default: false,
//         description: 'Include class definition and import statements in snippet'
//       },
//       {
//         name: 'Set indentation count',
//         id: 'indentCount',
//         type: 'positiveInteger',
//         default: 2,
//         description: 'Set the number of indentation characters to add per code level'
//       },
//       ...
// ]

Guideline for using generated snippet

• Since Postman-SDK Request object doesn't provide complete path of the file, it needs to be manually inserted in case of uploading a file.

• content-type needs to be specified in order to add body to the request. So if no content-type is specified then text/plain will be used as default. In case of multipart/formdata content-type is generated by snippet itself.

• This module doesn't support cookies.
