Get Started dotnet CLI PackageReference Package Manager
$ dotnet add package HttpClientToCurlReadme :1st_place_medal: HttpClientToCurl :1st_place_medal:
An extension for generating the Curl script of HttpClient in .NET
This extension will help you to see whatever is set in HttpClient in the form of a curl script.
And you can check if that is the correct data for sending to an external service or not. also if you have an error, you can check the script find your problem, and fix that. so easily.
Also, it is the new way and fast way to create or update a collection of Postman, when you haven't got a postman collection for your desired external service.
It's easy to use. just you should install the package on your project from the below address and use sample codes for how to call and work with extensions.
For adding a package to your project from Nuget use this command
dotnet add package HttpClientToCurl
You have 3 ways to see script result:
1- Put it in a string variable:
string curlScript = httpClientInstance.GenerateCurlInString(httpRequestMessage);
2- Show to the IDE console:
httpClientInstance.GenerateCurlInConsole(httpRequestMessage);
Notice : when the curl script was written in the console, maybe your IDE console applies WordWrap automatically.
you should remove enters from the script.Notice : You can set specific configurations for your result in the optional second parameter . httpClientInstance.GenerateCurlInFile(httpRequestMessage);
Notice : You can set specific configurations for your result in the optional second parameter . :rocket: :rocket: :rocket:
Additionally , there is another overload option for adding everything as plain:
httpClientInstance.GenerateCurlInString(yourHttpMethod, "yourRequestUri", "yourHeader", "yourContent");

Please let me know if you have any feedback and your solution to improve the code also if you find a problem.
Also, I would be extremely happy if you could contribute to the implementation and improvement of the project.
