Generates Postman collection JSON files from Express, Next.js, Fastify, Hono, or other API routes. Scans route definitions, extracts endpoints, methods, params, and creates importable collections. Use when users request "generate postman collection", "export to postman", "create postman file", or "postman import".

AI 生成的概览

通过扫描代码库中的 API 路由定义,生成可导入的 Postman Collection v2.1 JSON 文件。

功能
该技能扫描 Express、Next.js、Fastify、Hono、NestJS 或 Koa 项目中的 API 路由定义,提取 HTTP 方法、路径、路径与查询参数、请求体和请求头。它按资源对端点分组,生成 Postman Collection v2.1 JSON 文件以及包含 baseUrl、authToken 等变量的环境模板。它还说明了可选的集合级认证配置和请求示例。
适用场景
当用户要求生成 Postman 集合、将 API 导出到 Postman、创建 Postman 文件,或从现有代码库准备 Postman 导入时使用。适合希望将 API 路由整理为可共享、可导入集合的团队。
运行要求
仅为说明文档,技能不附带脚本。所述流程假定使用 Node.js/TypeScript 环境,并需要 @babel/parser、@babel/traverse、glob、commander 等包,同时需要读取 API 源代码的权限以及写入输出 JSON 文件的权限。

Postman Collection Generator

Generate importable Postman collections from your API codebase automatically.

Core Workflow

  1. Scan routes: Find all API route definitions in the codebase
  2. Extract metadata: Methods, paths, params, request bodies, headers
  3. Organize endpoints: Group by resource or folder structure
  4. Generate collection: Create Postman Collection v2.1 JSON
  5. Add examples: Include request/response examples
  6. Configure variables: Environment variables for base URL, auth tokens

Supported Frameworks

Postman Collection v2.1 Schema

json
{  "info": {    "name": "API Collection",    "description": "Auto-generated from codebase",    "schema": "https://schema.getpostman.com/json/collection/v2.1.0/collection.json"  },  "item": [],  "variable": [],  "auth": {}}

Express Route Scanner

typescript
// scripts/generate-postman.tsimport * as fs from "fs";import * as path from "path";import { parse } from "@babel/parser";import traverse from "@babel/traverse";
interface RouteInfo {  method: string;  path: string;  name: string;  description?: string;  params?: ParamInfo[];  body?: Record<string, unknown>;  headers?: Record<string, string>;}
interface ParamInfo {  name: string;  type: "path" | "query";  description?: string;  example?: string;}
function scanExpressRoutes(filePath: string): RouteInfo[] {  const routes: RouteInfo[] = [];  const code = fs.readFileSync(filePath, "utf-8");
  const ast = parse(code, {    sourceType: "module",    plugins: ["typescript"],  });
  traverse(ast, {    CallExpression(nodePath) {      const callee = nodePath.node.callee;
      if (callee.type === "MemberExpression") {        const method = callee.property.name;        const httpMethods = ["get", "post", "put", "patch", "delete"];
        if (httpMethods.includes(method)) {          const args = nodePath.node.arguments;          if (args[0]?.type === "StringLiteral") {            const routePath = args[0].value;
            routes.push({              method: method.toUpperCase(),              path: routePath,              name: generateRouteName(method, routePath),              params: extractParams(routePath),            });          }        }      }    },  });
  return routes;}
function extractParams(routePath: string): ParamInfo[] {  const params: ParamInfo[] = [];  const pathParamRegex = /:(\w+)/g;  let match;
  while ((match = pathParamRegex.exec(routePath)) !== null) {    params.push({      name: match[1],      type: "path",      example: `{{${match[1]}}}`,    });  }
  return params;}
function generateRouteName(method: string, path: string): string {  const cleanPath = path.replace(/[/:]/g, " ").trim();  return `${method.toUpperCase()} ${cleanPath}`;}

Next.js App Router Scanner

typescript
// scripts/scan-nextjs-routes.tsimport * as fs from "fs";import * as path from "path";import { glob } from "glob";
interface NextApiRoute {  method: string;  path: string;  filePath: string;}
async function scanNextJsRoutes(appDir: string): Promise<NextApiRoute[]> {  const routes: NextApiRoute[] = [];  const routeFiles = await glob(`${appDir}/**/route.{ts,js}`);
  for (const file of routeFiles) {    const content = fs.readFileSync(file, "utf-8");    const relativePath = path.relative(appDir, path.dirname(file));    const apiPath = "/" + relativePath.replace(/\\/g, "/");
    // Detect exported HTTP methods    const methods = ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "PATCH", "DELETE", "HEAD", "OPTIONS"];
    for (const method of methods) {      if (        content.includes(`export async function ${method}`) ||        content.includes(`export function ${method}`) ||        content.includes(`export const ${method}`)      ) {        routes.push({          method,          path: convertNextPathToPostman(apiPath),          filePath: file,        });      }    }  }
  return routes;}
function convertNextPathToPostman(nextPath: string): string {  // Convert [param] to :param  return nextPath    .replace(/\[\.\.\.(\w+)\]/g, ":$1*") // [...slug] -> :slug*    .replace(/\[(\w+)\]/g, ":$1"); // [id] -> :id}

Fastify Route Scanner

typescript
// scripts/scan-fastify-routes.tsinterface FastifyRoute {  method: string;  path: string;  schema?: {    body?: object;    querystring?: object;    params?: object;    response?: object;  };}
function scanFastifyRoutes(filePath: string): FastifyRoute[] {  const routes: FastifyRoute[] = [];  const code = fs.readFileSync(filePath, "utf-8");
  // Match fastify.get('/path', { schema: ... }, handler)  const routeRegex =    /fastify\.(get|post|put|patch|delete)\s*\(\s*['"`]([^'"`]+)['"`]\s*,\s*(\{[\s\S]*?\})\s*,/g;
  let match;  while ((match = routeRegex.exec(code)) !== null) {    const [, method, path, optionsStr] = match;
    routes.push({      method: method.toUpperCase(),      path,      // Parse schema from options if available    });  }
  return routes;}

interface PostmanUrl {  raw: string;  host: string[];  path: string[];  query?: PostmanQuery[];  variable?: PostmanPathVariable[];}
interface PostmanVariable {  key: string;  value: string;  type: string;}
function generatePostmanCollection(  routes: RouteInfo[],  options: {    name: string;    baseUrl: string;    description?: string;    auth?: "bearer" | "basic" | "apikey";  }): PostmanCollection {  const collection: PostmanCollection = {    info: {      name: options.name,      description: options.description || "Auto-generated API collection",      schema:        "https://schema.getpostman.com/json/collection/v2.1.0/collection.json",    },    item: [],    variable: [      { key: "baseUrl", value: options.baseUrl, type: "string" },      { key: "authToken", value: "", type: "string" },    ],  };
  // Add auth configuration  if (options.auth === "bearer") {    collection.auth = {      type: "bearer",      bearer: [{ key: "token", value: "{{authToken}}", type: "string" }],    };  }
  // Group routes by resource  const groupedRoutes = groupRoutesByResource(routes);
  for (const [resource, resourceRoutes] of Object.entries(groupedRoutes)) {    const folder: PostmanItem = {      name: resource,      item: resourceRoutes.map((route) => createPostmanRequest(route)),    };    collection.item.push(folder);  }
  return collection;}
function createPostmanRequest(route: RouteInfo): PostmanItem {  const pathSegments = route.path.split("/").filter(Boolean);
  const item: PostmanItem = {    name: route.name,    request: {      method: route.method,      header: [        { key: "Content-Type", value: "application/json", type: "text" },      ],      url: {        raw: `{{baseUrl}}${route.path}`,        host: ["{{baseUrl}}"],        path: pathSegments,        variable: route.params          ?.filter((p) => p.type === "path")          .map((p) => ({            key: p.name,            value: p.example || "",            description: p.description,          })),      },      description: route.description,    },  };
  // Add request body for POST/PUT/PATCH  if (["POST", "PUT", "PATCH"].includes(route.method) && route.body) {    item.request.body = {      mode: "raw",      raw: JSON.stringify(route.body, null, 2),      options: { raw: { language: "json" } },    };  }
  return item;}
function groupRoutesByResource(  routes: RouteInfo[]): Record<string, RouteInfo[]> {  const groups: Record<string, RouteInfo[]> = {};

Best Practices

  1. Use variables: {{baseUrl}}, {{authToken}} for flexibility
  2. Group endpoints: Organize by resource/feature folders
  3. Add descriptions: Document each endpoint's purpose
  4. Include examples: Pre-fill request bodies with realistic data
  5. Set up auth: Configure collection-level authentication
  6. Add tests: Include basic response validation scripts
  7. Version control: Commit collection JSON to repository
  8. CI integration: Auto-generate on route changes

Output Checklist

  • All routes scanned from codebase
  • Endpoints grouped by resource
  • Path parameters extracted
  • Request bodies included for POST/PUT/PATCH
  • Environment variables configured
  • Authentication setup (if applicable)
  • Collection exported as v2.1 JSON
  • Environment template created
