Q: Generate fully-functional API endpoints( Documented)
Just to be clear. Is this able to generate fully-functional API endpoints of an external database that I have for example, and I then use those generated endpoints to integrate the database in other applicatins?
There is another product on here called NoCodeBackend, how is this compared to it? Thank you
A: Thanks for the question 🤗 NativeRest is more for sending requests to endpoints, i.e. it works from the other side. The closest analogue of NativeRest is Postman and Insomnia. If you need to create endpoints, then you need tools like NoCodeBackend, and if you need to debug and test, then NativeRest.
Can automatically generate API endpoints from a database for use in integrations? asked differentlt, can it act like an API Management tools like PostgREST, Hasura, or Strapi that can expose a database as a REST or GraphQL API automatically?
NativeRest does not create endpoints. Maybe someday this will be the case, but for now it is a tool for testing APIs. I recommend watching our short video on YouTube channel @nativesoft
Q: Can you please add Text Wrap to the Body?
Hi, please add Text Wrap to the Body, the horizontal scrollbar is not good enough for me.. plus I can't even scroll using the horizontal scroll wheel of my MX Master 3s mouse.
So can you please add Text Wrap and also make it possible to horizontally scroll with the horizontal scroll wheel, plus also by pressing shift + scroll wheel if possible. These horizontal scroll improvements doesn't replace the Text Wrap need, but it enhances the UX just like when using any other good code editor.
Maybe it would worth exploring different code editors controls to be able to implement these improvements easier?
A: Hi! 👋 Thank you for the detailed explanation of the problem 🤗 🔹 I'll be adding horizontal scrolling using Shift + scroll shortcut soon. This is the fastest and easiest thing to do at this stage. 🔹 Next I will try to make horizontal scrolling for Logitech MX Master 3S (and similar), which supports this function. 🔹 It will not be possible to implement Word Wrap in the near future, the...
I supposed it was a limitation with the component, requiring to add a different one. Please fix it once you find a good time for that implementation🙏
The text is a base64 string from a PDF, which is huge.
I prefer highlighting the value only, rather than having to highlight vertically (having to remove and re-add the other characters), Word Wrap would solve this too.
Q: How can multiple users be managed, will each get their own login?
I see that stacking the codes will increase the number of users for an account. How are we able to manage users? If I have a temp contractor, can I have him separate from the other users?

First of all..beautiful app Aleks! I really don't understand why is nobody talking about it on the internet, while it is there 3-4 years already. Especially I like the load testing. Not every api client has that, although I would like to set it by typing rather than with arrow keys. Especially when you need some longer delay you are clicking for minutes😂 But..what about running collections? You said you are almost there? Also it would be nice to have the possibility to run multiple windows, have you thought about that?
A: Hi Vito! 👋 Thank you for your feedback! 🤗 I'm glad you liked NativeRest overall. I'll try to make the input of load testing delay more convenient in the next version, through the usual input field. Collection Runner is a very important and complex feature. I will try to implement it in version 2.5.0 if everything goes according to plan. ✨ Be sure to write if you have any more questions or...
Great! So far I really liked it, I have tried few other clients, but these all gives me headache😂 I mean wayyy too much buttons and settings. I really like the 6.5mb NativeRest needs making it ideal to install it straight on cheapest VPS without setting up proxy etc..About my last question..would something like that be possible? Run more windows?
It's great that you liked NativeRest 🤗, and I tried to make it easy to use and compact in terms of executable file size. Sorry, I missed your last question. Please describe for what scenarios you need to run multiple NativeRest instances on one PC. Perhaps it will be easier for me to implement these features within a single instance of the application. 🧐
