Insomnia: [Improvement] Export collections using Postman format

Created on 7 Sep 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: Kong/insomnia

Insomnia supports exporting collections in the Insomnia and HAR formats. I would like to add the ability to export using the Postman collection format(s).

I have spent a lot of time building an extensive collection in Insomnia that would be of great use to others in my organization, but most of them use Postman, and currently there is no way to export collections to a Postman-compatible format. I have no intention of making it more attractive for people to use Postman (quite the opposite in fact), but this would be a useful feature that would allow teams to use the REST client of their choice while still being able to share collections.

Documentation for the various Postman collection JSON schemas can be found at https://schema.getpostman.com

If this is something you think would be useful, I would be happy to implement it in my spare time and open a PR.

accepted good first issue help wanted

What's the ETA of this? I prefer using Insomnia over Postman, but some colleagues rather use Postman

I'm completely okay with this being a community-supported feature of Insomnia and Postman is definitely popular enough to justify including it in Insomnia.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to get started 馃憤

@KevinSnyderCodes any updates on this ?

Would also love this. Did you end up working on it @KevinSnyderCodes?

Was also looking into adding this. Have you made any progress @KevinSnyderCodes?

I've got a working prototype of at least GraphQL calls being ported properly into Postman collections v2.1.0 schema. @KevinSnyderCodes are you still working on this? Is there any extended post call examples you can provide @gschier?

Will probably just use it for my purposes for now and strengthen the code if I should make it feature candidate quality
