Summary

Enable the user to update OpenAPI collections that were imported from URL when the OpenAPI specification changes.

Why should this be worked on?

As a backend developer, I use hoppscotch to interact with my APIs. I usually import OpenAPI specifications via a URL. When making changes to endpoints, I have to remove the collection and import it again to update hoppscotch.

It would be useful to have a button in the context menu of the collection to update it. This button should fetch the OpenAPI specifications from the original import URL and apply any changes without requiring me to enter the URL again.

Hi! I’m interested in contributing to this feature.

For a first step, I’m planning to add a helper function that fetches an OpenAPI spec from the original import URL and parses it into a JavaScript object, supporting both JSON and YAML. This will serve as the foundation for updating collections later.

I’d love any feedback on this approach before I start working on it.
