1 Description

This is a package that lets you have a REPL-like interface for http requests using a restclient buffer or an org buffer.

2 Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add restclient to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

3 Configuration

By default the layer enables restclient. It is possible to use org via ob-http by setting the layer variable restclient-use-org to t.

4 Restclient

Any file with an .http extension is opened in a restclient buffer. Full documentation and examples can be found in the package's GitHub Page. Also there is an Emacs Rocks! episode of it.
