Hey All 👋 .

Recently I got to know about a VS Code extension called Thunder Client⚡⚡ which can be used to test our API inside VS Code.
How Cool 😎 is that to test our API in the editor that we use all the time.

Thunder Client is a GUI-based Rest Api HTTPS client and has a very clean UI and easy-to-use interface.

One of the key highlights of this extension is Scriptless Testing

As we need to write a lot of boilerplate code in Postman and other clients to do basic testing using scripting like status code equal 200. In Thunder client, there is a GUI-based test where we can select a couple of dropdowns to do most standard tests very easily without any scripting knowledge.
As you can see in the image below

🖥 How to install

• First of all open your VS Code and Click on extensions on the sidebar and install thunder client.
