HTTP request maker and APIs tester made with Rust & GTK 4.

🚧 This is a work in progress and therefore you should expect that the application may not have all the features at this moment.

How to build

Flatpak

Install the runtime:

flatpak install --user org.gnome.Sdk//45 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//23.08

To build and run the Flatpak:

flatpak-builder --user flatpak_app build-aux/com.emarifer.RequestMaker.json
flatpak-builder --run flatpak_app build-aux/com.emarifer.RequestMaker.json request-maker

To install the Flatpak into your system or user Flatpak, use the --install flag and maybe the --user:

flatpak-builder --user --install flatpak_app build-aux/com.emarifer.RequestMaker.json

You will find Request Maker in your application launcher, or you can launch it with flatpak run com.emarifer.RequestMaker.

Likewise, you can uninstall the application by running flatpak uninstall --user com.emarifer.RequestMaker. In any case, the complete uninstallation of the application requires deleting the flatpak_app/ and .flatpak-builder/ folders generated in the current folder when installing.

Note

It may be necessary to install flatpak builder on your system by running sudo apt install flatpak-builder.

Big shoutout to many of the GTK and GNOME Circle applications out there whose source code I've read in order to know how to use some of the GTK features that you cannot learn just by reading the official docs.
