t-req for VS Code

Run and manage HTTP requests directly from .http files in VS Code — powered by the t-req engine.

Features

Syntax highlighting for .http files with embedded JSON support
Run requests with a single click or keyboard shortcut
Run all requests in a file sequentially
Local and server execution — run requests locally (bundled engine) or against a remote t-req server
Profile support — switch between environments (dev, staging, prod)
Response panel — view status, headers, and body with syntax highlighting
Plugin support — run plugins with hook timing, assert reports, and a dedicated Plugins tab in the response panel

Plugins

Run Request

All commands are available via the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P):

Command	Description
`t-req: Run Request`	Execute the request under the cursor
`t-req: Run All Requests`	Execute all requests in the current file
`t-req: Select Profile`	Choose the active profile
`t-req: Cancel Request`	Cancel a running request
`t-req: Set Server Token`	Store a bearer token for server mode (saved in SecretStorage)
`t-req: Clear Server Token`	Remove the stored server token

Configure via Settings > Extensions > t-req or in settings.json:

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`t-req.executionMode`	`"local"` \| `"server"`	`"local"`	Execution mode — `local` uses the bundled engine, `server` proxies to a remote t-req server
`t-req.serverUrl`	`string`	`""`	Base URL for the t-req server (server mode only)
`t-req.defaultProfile`	`string`	`""`	Default profile for request execution
`t-req.timeout`	`number`	`30000`	Request timeout in milliseconds (min: 100)
`t-req.enableDiagnostics`	`boolean`	`true`	Enable inline diagnostics for `.http` files
`t-req.maxBodyBytes`	`number`	`1048576`	Maximum response body size to render (min: 1024)

When using server mode, authenticate with a bearer token:

Run t-req: Set Server Token from the Command Palette
Enter your token — it is stored securely in VS Code's SecretStorage (never in settings files)
To remove it, run t-req: Clear Server Token

VS Code ^1.96.0
No external CLI install needed — the t-req core engine is bundled in the extension
