Plugins can now be included, they can modify the requests before they are made and modify the result. They are very simple to write and work with. I also wrote and example plugin over at seich/beau-jwt. |

What is Beau?
Beau, is a CLI that executes HTTP requests based on a YAML configuration file. This makes testing easy, it allows you to share test requests with others as part of your repo.
Installation
npm install -g beau
Usage
beau [options] -r <Request Alias>
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-r, --request [request] The alias for the request you'd like to trigger.
-v, --verbose Show all the information related to the current request and it's response.
-c, --config [file] Specify your request config file. Defaults to beau.yml in the current directory.
-l, --list List all requests in the config file.

Example Configuration File
VERSION: 1
HOST: https://example.com/api/
POST /session:
ALIAS: $session
PAYLOAD:
username: seich
password: hello01
GET /profile
ALIAS: $profile

That would execute the profile request along with it´s dependencies. In this case, the session request would be made as well since we are using it´s response value as part of our current request.
