ijhttp Client

Русская версия

VS Code/Cursor extension for JetBrains HTTP Client .http files.

Request execution is delegated to the installed ijhttp CLI. The extension does not contain its own HTTP runtime.

Important

Execution works only when ijhttp is installed in the system and available in PATH, or when the binary path is configured via ijhttp-client.ijhttpPath.

Without ijhttp, the extension still provides:

• syntax highlighting
• basic syntax diagnostics
• request block detection
• CodeLens for runnable request blocks

Features

• highlights .http files
• detects request blocks separated by ###
• runs the current request block through system ijhttp
• auto-discovers http-client.env.json and http-client.private.env.json
• supports common JetBrains HTTP Client constructs such as # @name, {{variables}}, pre-request scripts, and response-handler scripts
• saves response bodies into a local .response/ folder and appends history comments like # <> ./.response/... below executed requests

Usage

### ping
GET https://example.com/api/ping
Accept: application/json

Run the current request block with:

• CodeLens Run with ijhttp
• command ijhttp Client: Run Current Request
• shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R / Cmd+Alt+R

Settings

• ijhttp-client.ijhttpPath
• ijhttp-client.environment
• ijhttp-client.envFile
• ijhttp-client.privateEnvFile
• ijhttp-client.logLevel
• ijhttp-client.enableRunCodeLens

Based On

This project is based on Huachao/vscode-restclient and was adapted for an ijhttp-only workflow.
