codegen-python-http.client

Converts Postman-SDK Request into code snippet for Python-http.client

Prerequisites

To run Code-Gen, ensure that you have NodeJS >= v8. 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 python-http.client code snippet and getOptions function which returns an array of supported options.

convert function

Convert function takes three parameters

• request - Postman-SDK Request Object

• options - options is an object which has following properties

  • indentType - String denoting type of indentation for code snippet. eg: 'Space', 'Tab'
  • indentCount - Set the number of indentation characters to add per code level
  • trimRequestBody - Trim request body fields
  • followRedirect - Boolean denoting whether to redirect a request
  • requestTimeout - Integer denoting time after which the request will bail out in milli-seconds

• 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 = {
        indentCount: 3,
        indentType: 'Space',
        requestTimeout: 200,
        trimRequestBody: true,
        followRedirect: true
    };
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.

Example

var options = getOptions();

console.log(options);
// output
// [
//       {
//         name: 'Set indentation count',
//         id: 'indentCount',
//         type: 'positiveInteger',
//         default: 2,
//         description: 'Set the number of indentation characters to add per code level'
//       },
//       ...
// ]

Guidelines 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.

• This module doesn't support cookies.
