[🛠 Tips] Organize related rules by folder with Proxyman
Keep things organized with Proxyman Folder
When working with Map Local, Breakpoint or Scripting tool, sometimes you might run into a problem with managing/ organizing rules. Even though each of them can be distinguished by name, it would be much easier to group all related rules by folders and enable/disable the whole folder when needed.
Group multiple items into folder
Since the version 3.6.0, Proxyman has introduced a new feature named Folder which facilitates developers to organize their Map Local, Breakpoint or Scripting rules with a user-friendly directory structure. To organize related rules, you can group them by folders with the following steps:
- Select all the items you want to group together.
- Right-click one of the selected items, then create New Folder with Selection.
OR
- Create New Folder
- Drag one or many items into the folder
You'll also be able to select/ deselect a folder to quickly disable all related rules without clicking each of them
Filter rules in Folder
Proxyman also support filter/ search for specific rules; you can hit Command + F and select either search by Name or by Matching Rules.
Tip: Use short names that say what a rule changes, such as Checkout - 500 response or Staging - API host. A folder can represent an app, an environment, or one test case. Before enabling a whole folder, scan its rules for broad wildcards so an old mock does not change unrelated traffic.
We hope this mini blog would be helpful for you to keep things organized. Happy coding! 👨🚀
