The 6-Install VS Code Extension That Could Replace Postman for Quick API Tests

The 6-Install VS Code Extension That Could Replace Postman for Quick API Tests

Ronak Munjapara — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 18:19:16 +0000

Why I’m Betting on “Simple HTTP Requester” — and Why You Should Too

As developers, we love our tools. But we loathe context switching.

One minute you’re deep in a React component, the next you’re alt-tabbing to Postman, Insomnia, or — heaven forbid — a terminal full of curl commands just to test a quick API endpoint. It breaks flow. It kills momentum. And honestly? It’s unnecessary.

Enter Simple HTTP Requester — a VS Code extension so minimal, it’s almost invisible. And yet, it might just be the tiny productivity hack you didn’t know you needed.

At the time of writing, it has 6 installs.
Yes, six.
But I’m convinced that number won’t last long.

🛠️ What Is It?
Created by developer Ronak Munjapara, Simple HTTP Requester is exactly what it sounds like: a no-frills VS Code extension that lets you send HTTP requests directly from your editor.

No setup. No config files. No new UI panels cluttering your workspace. Just pure, functional simplicity.

🔥 How It Works (In 30 Seconds)
Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P).
Type “Send HTTP Request” and hit Enter.
Enter your URL, choose a method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and optionally paste a JSON body.
Instantly see the response in the “HTTP Response” output channel.
That’s it. No project setup. No environment variables. No learning curve.

💡 Why This Matters
We’ve been trained to believe that API testing requires heavyweight tools. But what if you just need to:

Verify a /health endpoint?
Test a quick POST to your local dev server?
Check if your auth header is working?
Do you really need a full-blown app for that?

Simple HTTP Requester says no — and it’s right.

It’s not trying to replace Postman for complex workflows. But for 90% of quick, ad-hoc requests, it’s faster, lighter, and right where you already are: inside VS Code.

🌱 The Beauty of Minimalism
In a world of bloated dev tools, this extension is a breath of fresh air. It respects your time, your screen real estate, and your focus.

And it’s a reminder that great tools don’t need to be complex — they just need to solve a real problem elegantly.

🙌 A Call to Action
Ronak built something genuinely useful — and it’s flying under the radar with only 6 installs.

If you’ve ever wasted 2 minutes opening Postman just to send one request…
Go install it.
Star it.
Share it with your team.

Let’s help a brilliant micro-tool get the attention it deserves.

👉 Install Simple HTTP Requester from the VS Code Marketplace

Final Thought
Sometimes, the smallest tools create the biggest ripples.

This one fits in your pocket — but it might just change how you work.

Happy coding. 🖥️✨

Step-by-Step Guide to Host .NET 8 Core Web API with Swagger in IIS

Ronak Munjapara — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 11:37:40 +0000

Hosting a .NET 8 Core Web API with Swagger on an IIS server involves several steps, including installing required components, publishing your application, and configuring IIS. Here’s a detailed guide to help you through the process.

Prerequisites

Windows Server with IIS installed.
.NET 8 Hosting Bundle installed on the server.
Visual Studio for development and publishing.

Step 1: Install Required Components

Install IIS:
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off.
Check the box for Internet Information Services (IIS) and install it.
Install .NET 8 Hosting Bundle:
Download and install the .NET 8 Hosting Bundle from the official Microsoft website. This includes the ASP.NET Core Runtime and necessary modules for IIS.

Step 2: Create Your Web API Project

Open Visual Studio and create a new ASP.NET Core Web API project.
Ensure that you enable Swagger support during project creation or add it later using NuGet packages (Swashbuckle.AspNetCore).

Step 3: Configure Your Project (.NET 8)

In .NET 8, the Program.cs file replaces both the Main method and the Startup.cs. Here's how you should configure your Web API project with Swagger:

Example `Program.cs`:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddControllers();
// Learn more about configuring Swagger/OpenAPI at https://aka.ms/aspnetcore/swashbuckle
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();

var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}

// Enable middleware to serve generated Swagger as a JSON endpoint.
app.UseSwagger();

// Enable middleware to serve swagger-ui (HTML, JS, CSS, etc.), specifying the Swagger JSON endpoint.
app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>
{
    c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "My API V1");
    c.RoutePrefix = string.Empty; // Serve Swagger UI at the app's root
});

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapControllers();

app.Run();

🔍 Key Points

WebApplication.CreateBuilder() sets up the host, services, and configuration.
app.UseSwagger() enables the raw Swagger JSON endpoint.
app.UseSwaggerUI() serves the interactive documentation UI.
RoutePrefix = string.Empty makes Swagger UI accessible at the root URL (e.g., http://localhost:5000).

🧪 Testing Locally

After running your application, navigate to:

http://localhost:<port>/

You should see the Swagger UI page if everything is configured properly.

Step 4: Publish Your Application

Right-click on your project in Visual Studio and select Publish.
Choose a folder as the target location (e.g., C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebAPI).
Click Publish to generate the necessary files.

Step 5: Set Up IIS

Open IIS Manager.
Right-click on Sites and select Add Website.
Fill out the following details:
Site name: MyWebAPI
Physical path: Path to your published folder (e.g., C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebAPI).
Binding: Set appropriate bindings (e.g., HTTP on port 80).
Click OK to create the site.

Step 6: Configure Application Pool

In IIS Manager, go to Application Pools.
Create a new application pool or use an existing one:
Set the .NET CLR version to “No Managed Code” for ASP.NET Core applications.
Ensure that the application pool identity has permissions to access your published folder.

Step 7: Test Your Application

Open a web browser and navigate to your site’s URL (e.g., http://localhost/MyWebAPI).
Access Swagger UI by navigating to http://localhost/MyWebAPI/swagger.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter a “404 Not Found” error when accessing Swagger, ensure that:
The Swagger middleware is correctly configured in your Startup.cs.
The physical path in IIS points correctly to your published files.
Check if all necessary IIS features are enabled, such as Static Content and Application Development features.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully host your .NET 8 Core Web API with Swagger on an IIS server.

Get the table structure in SQL

Ronak Munjapara — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 18:38:14 +0000

I'll help you create queries to get the table structure (field names and data types) for these tables in the Academics database. Here's the query using INFORMATION_SCHEMA:

-- Get column details for Tablename 
SELECT 
    COLUMN_NAME,
    DATA_TYPE,
    CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH,
    IS_NULLABLE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
WHERE 
    TABLE_NAME = 'Tablename'
    AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION;

Alternatively, you can use the system stored procedure sp_help:

-- Using sp_help (provides more detailed information including constraints)
EXEC sp_help 'Tablename';

Both methods will give you the structure of these tables. The INFORMATION_SCHEMA query provides a cleaner, more focused view of just the column names and data types, while sp_help provides additional information like constraints, indexes, and other table properties.

Ronak Munjapara — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 07:46:32 +0000

In today’s digital age, we spend countless hours staring at screens—be it for work, entertainment, or staying connected. However, prolonged exposure to blue light emitted from digital devices can lead to eye strain, disrupted sleep patterns, and even long-term vision problems. Thankfully, EyeShield: Blue Light Protection Extension is here to save the day.

In this blog, we’ll explore how EyeShield works, its benefits, and why it’s a must-have tool for your digital wellbeing.

What Is Blue Light, and Why Is It Harmful?

Blue light is a high-energy, short-wavelength light that digital screens emit. While some exposure to blue light is natural (the sun emits it too), overexposure from artificial sources like computers, smartphones, and tablets can:

Cause digital eye strain, leading to headaches and fatigue.
Disrupt your sleep by suppressing melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep cycles.
Potentially contribute to long-term retinal damage.

That’s where EyeShield steps in.

What Is EyeShield?

EyeShield is a browser extension designed to minimize the harmful effects of blue light by adding a customizable warm overlay to your screen. Unlike traditional software or hardware solutions, EyeShield is lightweight, easy to install, and doesn’t require any special devices.

Key Features of EyeShield

Customizable Warm Overlay

EyeShield offers a fully customizable warm filter that reduces blue light exposure. You can adjust the intensity, color temperature, and schedule according to your needs.
User-Friendly Interface

With an intuitive design, EyeShield is easy to use for everyone. Activate or deactivate the overlay with a single click, or set it to operate automatically during specific hours.
Privacy-Focused

EyeShield works entirely on your local browser without collecting or transmitting any user data, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Lightweight and Efficient

The extension is designed to be resource-friendly, ensuring it doesn’t slow down your browser while delivering optimal blue light protection.

Why Choose EyeShield Over Other Solutions?

Built for Browsing: Unlike system-wide blue light filters, EyeShield specifically targets your browser, making it ideal for web browsing and online work.
No Additional Hardware Needed: You don’t need to purchase expensive blue light glasses or special screen protectors. EyeShield provides an effective solution at no extra cost.
Completely Free: EyeShield is available as a free browser extension, making it accessible to everyone.

How to Get Started with EyeShield

Install the Extension: Download and install EyeShield from your browser’s extension store.
Customize Your Settings: Adjust the overlay intensity and schedule to suit your preferences.
Enjoy a Comfortable Browsing Experience: Experience reduced eye strain and improved focus instantly.

Tips to Reduce Blue Light Exposure Beyond EyeShield

While EyeShield is an excellent tool, you can further protect your eyes with these simple tips:

Take regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Reduce screen brightness or use “Night Mode” settings on your devices.
Maintain proper screen distance—keep your screen at least 20 inches from your eyes.

Conclusion

EyeShield is more than just an extension—it’s a step toward healthier, more comfortable screen time. Whether you’re working late nights, binge-watching your favorite shows, or scrolling through social media, EyeShield has your back.

Say goodbye to digital eye strain and hello to a better browsing experience.

Install EyeShield today and protect your vision for tomorrow!
