Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/2205

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Postman provides method sendRequest to make AJAX request from pre-request script. For example:

pm.sendRequest({
    url: 'http://example.localhost/sanctum/csrf-cookie',
    method: 'GET'
}, function (error, response, {cookies}) {
    if (!error) {
        pm.environment.set('xsrf-token', cookies.get('XSRF-TOKEN'))
    }
})

This feature is useful when you need to get for example xsrf-token,

Why should this be worked on?

Allow testing API's build with Laravel Scout to get xsrf-token. I think it's much more use cases than this one.

Please discuss about this in the RFC discussion #2292 for the scripting API revamp.

We are working on a scripting API revamp to support for more complex use cases.

Still waiting for this, would really improve my user experience...
I guess it should not be closed, even if it is mentioned on #2292 ?
All other mentioned features on #2292 are not closed...

Would like to add my +1 support for this feature, as it is making it difficult for me to migrate from Postman.

My Use Case: A pre-request script that handles creation of OAuth 2.0 client_credentials grant access token before the request, then stores both the access token and expiration in environment variables.

I have been using this in postman before Postman even added OAuth 2 support, and it's a great way to get around the lack of Hoppscotch support for OAuth 2.0 client_credentials grant (see https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/874)

It would be really great if these pre-request scripts could then be stored at the collection level and shared.

Hi, we have an updated RFC for the revamped scripting system that covers the above scope. We’d appreciate reviews and feedback directly on the RFC itself, so we can keep the discussion focused and productive.
