Vscode-restclient: Feature Request: Store environments in a file instead of settings

[chanan]

VSCode: 1.17.2
Rest: 0.15.3

We love using Rest Client in our team and we have our .http files checked in to our project. It would be great to have the environment variables stored in a file instead of the settings of vscode so our environments can be shared easily among team members

@chanan nice suggestion, I will consider it carefully.

This will be a great addition. Furthermore, following tradition, if it can detect env.json in the current folder, if not package root, if not package.json and if not VSCode settings, it'd be super awesome!

Hi, I think that something similar can be achieved even by settings. I didn't like the way I have to store environment in VS code settings and I have found a better way which is sufficient for me (maybe not for you).

1. I create folder in my project where I want to store "rest client" files.
2. I then open that folder and then I choose "save workspace as ..."
3. I save workspace file (extension code-workspace) in the same folder so all files are in that folder.
4. Then I can open that workspace and by "CTRL + ," I can configure enfironment in "WORKSPACE SETTINGS" which is stored in the workspace file (code-workspace). I can immediatelly use that enviromnments and this way I can share them by team in SVN, GIT ...

Maybe it will help you for now.

@hudecekd Its a good option for those who use workspaces and teams who can share workspaces like that.
