Path parameter placeholders provide multiple options

[vhxnif]

In Java or Kotlin development tech stack, Spring uses {id} as a placeholder for the path parameter, and currently only :id is available. Can we provide multiple options?

Path parameters are url path segments that start with a colon ':' e.g. ':id'

Hi, Thanks for your question. I tested this in the latest version, and insomnia supports multiple path parameter names, not just :id. You can use :name, :userId, etc., in your URLs, similar to how Spring uses {id}, {name}, etc.

Please note that each path parameter can hold only one value per URL segment. If you need to provide multiple values, consider using query parameters or making multiple requests.

Perhaps I didn't describe it clearly.

In Spring, we use {}; therefore, when using Insomnia, the copied path must have {} changed to : to work.

Would it be possible to add configurations to support different placeholder symbols?

Hi, thanks for clarifying! Currently, Insomnia only supports the : syntax for path parameters. I’ll raise an internal ticket to explore adding support for different placeholder symbols in the future. For now, paths copied from Spring will need to be updated manually.
