apipie-postman

apipie-postman is a Ruby gem that automatically generates a Postman collection based on your apipie json output.

The main reason we built this was because we were often in need for a Postman collection with the APIs we designed, but the work seemed to be duplicate. Also, the collection is hard to maintain and many times left incomplete.

• find the gem on https://rubygems.org/gems/apipie-postman
• add the gem in group :development, :test
• generate a Postman API key; details here
• add an initializer file to config/initializers/apipie_postman.rb:

ApipiePostman.configure do |config|
  config.postman_api_key = 'your_postman_api_key'
  config.postman_collection_name = 'Your collection name'
  config.base_url = 'localhost:3000' # the base_url that you want in your postman collection
end

• run bundle exec apipie-postman

• running bundle exec apipie-postman will create the apipie_postman.rake file
• run bundle exec rake apipie_postman to run the task and generate docs

The gem uses Rspec for testing. In order to make sure all tests are running, run bundle install and bundle exec rspec spec/file_to_test.rb or bundle exec rspec spec/* (to run all files).
