[Feature Request] support for path variables

[pklopotowski]

Would be nice to have a support for path variables:
/users/{userId}/numbers
Currently we can only use an environment variable in that case. But this is a very inconvenient way and inflexible because this parameter may change for each request and is environment independent.

Thanks for the request @pklopotowski! This seems like a duplicate of #203

Can you go over that issue and let me know what you think?

[pklopotowski]

@gschier Definitely, this is the same type of requirements. I was searching for [Feature Request] marker, but #203 is marked as [Proposal], my inattention.
But let's focus on the problem. As you wrote, it may be done by placeholders. This gives us flexibility and shows a changeable/configurable part of a request.

[gschier]

Exactly, meaning it can work for other things besides URL path variables. 😄

[gschier]

Closing this one, as #203 seems like an appropriate solution.

[pklopotowski]

ok, thx. I will be waiting for this feature

Any chance that #203 gets added to this roadmap?

It has a lot of upvotes and a glaringly missing feature of Insomnia.

Note that #203 proposes to use a special kind of template syntax such as {% my_variable %} within the URL. When importing Open API specifications, the URL will contain {my_variable} (as the OP suggests). So this might not be the exactly same use case.

this should not be closed
insomnia should support open api path parameters {my_variable} and allow to set them the same way as query parameters.
Postman does the exact same thing

This is so sad, someone has even done this for them, and they choose to ignore him.
