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 +``` + +### 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. +
