Post scripts can retrieve the name of the request?

[riza-khan]

I'm trying to avoid writing multiple scripts for the same basic functionality. I want to get the name of the request:

@name login
POST ...

and use it in a post request so I can name the file 'login.json'. Is that possible with Kulala?

I do not quite understand what you want to do, but yes, you can get any request data in a lua script, e.g. request.name

The closest I got was:

console.log(request.url.tryGetSubstituted())

request.name was undefined. Btw, I'm using Javascript, not Lua. Does Lua have more capabilities?

[riza-khan]

Yes it works in Lua, not JS. Oh well, a great reason to learn Lua I guess...

[YaroSpace]

Yes, since Lua is native, you have access to all internal data. With JS only a subset, which we need to serialize back and forth between nvim and node process.

In JS, you can set a variable with client.global.set() or request.varaible.set() to serve as the request name.
