insomnia-plugin-request-confirmation

insomnia-plugin-request-confirmation is a plugin for Insomnia that shows a confirmation dialog before an HTTP request is sent. The confirmation is triggered if the shouldConfirm property is set to true in the environment configuration (in every project).

Features

• Displays a confirmation dialog for users to approve or cancel requests before they are sent.
• Confirmation is only triggered when the shouldConfirm property is set to true in the active environment.
• Useful for preventing accidental requests, especially in sensitive environments like production.

Manual installation

1. Open Insomnia.
2. Go to Insomnia → Preferences → Plugins → Open Plugins Folder.
   • Default location:
     • MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Insomnia/plugins/
     • Windows: %APPDATA%\Insomnia\plugins\
     • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Insomnia/plugins/ or ~/.config/Insomnia/plugins/
3. In the folder that opens, create a new folder called insomnia-plugin-request-confirmation.
4. Clone or download the contents of this repository into the newly created folder.
5. Restart Insomnia to load the plugin.

Important: Make sure the folder name starts with insomnia-plugin-. If the naming convention is not respected, the plugin will not work because Insomnia requires all plugins to follow this prefix rule.

Usage

1. In Insomnia, go to your environment settings.

2. Add the shouldConfirm property to the environment where you want confirmation enabled:

   {
     "url": "https://foo.api.com",
     "shouldConfirm": true
   }

3. When sending a request using this environment, a confirmation dialog will appear.

4. If the user selects Cancel, the request will be aborted.
