Allow to run command before request

[dkuku]

this would be useful to get an auth token
I'm thinking about something:

export TOKEN=Cookie=`curl https://swapi.co/api/people/1/ |jq --arg --raw-output '.name'`
echo $TOKEN

a way to pipe the curl output would be also usefull - when the return value is long it's hard to check it in vim - piping to jq or tail could be interesting

A recent PR has added an ability to read an env variable. Do you think it works (though how the env variable is set is outside VRC)?

i create pr for pipe option, you can pull from it

Ended up with something like this:

    function RunWithPreCommand()
      local pre = vim.fn.findfile('pre.sh', '.;')
      if pre ~= '' then
        vim.fn.system('bash ' .. pre)
      end
      vim.cmd('call VrcQuery()')
    end

    MAPKEY('n', '<leader>r', ':lua RunWithPreCommand()<CR>', { noremap = true, silent = true })

It runs authentication code which resides in pre.sh:

#!/bin/bash

REFRESH_KEY=XXXXXXXX
URL=https://www.my/auth/provider/verifyPassword?key=$REFRESH_KEY
HEADER="Content-Type: application/json"
BODY='{"email": "my_mail@me.com", "password": "123456", "returnSecureToken": true}'

IDTOKEN=$(curl --silent -X POST -H "$HEADER" -d "$BODY" $URL | jq -r '.token')

sed -i "s/X-AUTH:.*$/X-AUTH: Token $IDTOKEN/" api/headers

So, it looks for a bash script in the project's directory, and executes it exporting the output to a headers file. Then you can execute all your queries reading the headers from this file, like so:

# host
http://localhost:8000

# curl options
# --verbose  # show request headers
--silent   # don't show progress
# --include  # show response headers
--insecure # allow insegure SSL connections
-H @api/headers

# query
GET /v1/cancel-order/1/

Hope this helps. o/
