# HTTP Client Configuration for Local Testing | ||
|
||
This file is designed for local testing of HTTP interfaces using the **HTTP Client** plugin in IntelliJ IDEA. It enables quick testing of REST APIs directly within the IDE without requiring additional external tools or scripts. | ||
|
||
## Prerequisites | ||
1. Install IntelliJ IDEA (Community or Ultimate Edition). | ||
2. Install the **HTTP Client** plugin if it is not already installed. | ||
|
||
For more information on the HTTP Client plugin, refer to the official documentation: | ||
[HTTP Client in IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/http-client-in-product-code-editor.html) | ||
|
||
## How to Use | ||
1. Open the `.http` or `.rest` file in IntelliJ IDEA. | ||
2. Use the provided HTTP requests to test your API endpoints. | ||
3. Select an HTTP request and click the **Run** button that appears next to it in the editor, or press `Ctrl+Enter` (Windows/Linux) or `Command+Enter` (Mac). | ||
4. View the response in the dedicated response panel. | ||
|
||
### Example | ||
```http | ||
GET http://localhost:8080/api/example | ||
Content-Type: application/json | ||
Authorization: Bearer <your_token> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Features | ||
|
||
- Supports HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. | ||
- Easily add headers, query parameters, and body content. | ||
- View responses interactively with support for formats like JSON, XML, etc. | ||
|
||
## Scope of Use | ||
|
||
This file is intended **only for local development and testing purposes**. It is not meant for production or CI/CD pipelines. | ||
|
||
## Recommendations for Automated Testing | ||
|
||
While the HTTP Client plugin is great for manual testing, we recommend integrating REST API tests into your automated test suite for better coverage and reliability. | ||
|
||
### Other Suggested Tools | ||
|
||
- **JUnit** with [RestAssured](https://rest-assured.io/) for Java-based integration tests. | ||
- **Postman** with [Newman](https://www.npmjs.com/package/newman) for automated API testing. | ||
