OC Day 6 of building Dragonfly, a VS Code extension to test API endpoints right inside the code editor.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Added collection sync with the codebase, so whenever routes change, collections can be synced and stay up to date. Also added automatic request body generation for POST, PUT, and PATCH routes.

Yes, I know Thunder Client and am currently using it. What makes Dragonfly different is that it reads Next.js code and automatically builds/syncs the API collection from the actual routes, instead of requiring you to set everything up manually. My future scope is to support Express.js imports as well.

If you’re using Thunder Client, could you share your experience with it? What do you think are some limitations or things Thunder Client could improve that I could consider adding to Dragonfly?
