How to use rest client in vscode and put environment variables under .vscode/settings.json file

Basically in order to test our REST APIs directly from vscode-> we can use RestAPI extension and we are free from all hassles of using browsers espcially for Micro-Service based APIs where we will get our results immediately

Ofcourse for long running processing (e.g. batch load - gisupdate project where the load takes 1 hour) then we can use browser http://localhost:3003/docs (swagger). All based on our requirement

After intalling RestClient extension in vscode just refer to test_api.http script to see how you setup APIs for different environments
