3. Environment Management:

4. Collection Management:

5. Code Generation:

6. Testing Features:

7. WebSocket/GraphQL Support:

Here's a basic implementation plan I would suggest:

1. First Priority (Core Features):

2. Second Priority (User Experience):

• Response formatting and previews
• Code generation
• Basic authentication support

3. Third Priority (Advanced Features):

• Collections
• Testing
• WebSocket/GraphQL support

Let me break down the core features we should prioritize first, without any code:

1. Environment Variables & Management

• Create/edit/delete environments (e.g., "Development", "Production")
• Variable substitution in requests (e.g., replace {{baseUrl}} with actual value)
• Quick environment switching
• Environment variable inheritance (global → environment-specific)

2. Request/Response Improvements

• Response syntax highlighting for JSON/XML/HTML
• Response size and timing metrics
• Request timing breakdown (DNS, TLS, First byte, etc.)
• Save responses as files
• Copy response as JSON/raw

3. Basic Authentication Support

• Basic Auth (username/password)
• Bearer Token auth
• API Key auth (as header or query param)
• Cookie management

4. Request Organization

• Save requests to collections
• Organize collections in folders
• Import/export collections
• Search across requests

5. Request Building Improvements

• Form data support
• File upload support
• Raw body input with syntax highlighting
• Query parameter builder with validation
• Better header management with common header suggestions

These features would provide a solid foundation similar to Postman's core functionality. Would you like me to elaborate on any of these areas?

The most critical missing features that would significantly improve usability are:

1. Nested Collection Organization - for better request organization
2. Advanced Cookie Management - for better session handling across domains
3. Collection-level Testing - for automated API testing workflows

Based on the codebase, here are some quality-of-life and nice-to-have features that could enhance the user experience:

1. Request Templates

// Add a new button next to Save to create/use templates
<RequestUrlBar
  method={method}
  url={url}
  loading={loading}
  onMethodChange={onMethodChange}
  onUrlChange={onUrlChange}
  onSend={onSend}
  onSave={onSave}
  onTemplate={() => setTemplateDialogOpen(true)} // New prop
/>

2. Environment Variable Preview

• Show resolved environment variables inline in the URL/headers/body
• Add a toggle to switch between raw and resolved views

3. Request Chaining

• Allow requests to use previous response data
• Add variables like {{prevResponse.body.id}} that get replaced at runtime

4. Bulk Operations

// Add bulk import/export/delete for requests within collections
const handleBulkExport = (collectionId: string) => {
  const collection = collections.find(c => c.id === collectionId);
  // Export logic
}

5. Request History Search Improvements

• Add filters by status code, date range, collection
• Add ability to save searches
• Group by domain/endpoint

6. Response Diffs

• Allow comparing responses between two requests
• Highlight changes in JSON/headers

7. Request Queue/Batch Requests

• Queue multiple requests to run in sequence
• Run collection requests as a batch

8. Advanced Auth

• OAuth 2.0 flow support
• Token management/refresh
• Session handling

9. Response Transformations

interface ResponseTransform {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  type: 'json' | 'xml' | 'text';
  script: string;
}

10. Request Documentation

• Add markdown documentation to requests
• Generate API documentation from collections

  statusCode: number;
  delay?: number;
}

17. Request Sharing
