WebStorm/IntelliJ HTTP client in examples

Let’s take a look at the HTTP client that can execute HTTP Requests directly in the JetBrains IDEs.

Creating HTTP/REST file

You can create HTTP/REST files inside your project. Those files will be shared between your teammates, so they could make your pre-defined requests.

Or even BE guys could create and test those files for you 🙂

After creating a new file you can define a simple GET request:

⚠️ NOTE: Each file can contain multiple requests, and you can create as many files as needed.

Scratch files

If you don’t want those HTTP files in your project, you can create a scratch file that will be stored locally and visible only for you (VCS will not manage those too)
