Directual Update: refreshed API-builder

Well, you can't kill progress and you can’t stop Directual from getting better!

Our secret development department has released another batch of goodies for you.

Disclaimer: Tests conducted by our secret development department have shown that using the updated API builder can increase the development speed of an application by 20%!

The best thing about APIs is that you can configure role-based access to manage access to the API. This way, each user or group is assigned a specific role that determines the permissions granted to perform operations on an API, thereby increasing the security of your data.

So what's new in the API builder? Quite a lot. Have fun!

• Updated API endpoints menu: Now you can clearly see the roles for which a particular endpoint is available, an associated synchronous scenario, if any, and a label indicating whether this endpoint is public.‍
• New configuration window for endpoints and folders: Managing a large number of endpoints is now easier, as is working with query parameters. All thanks to the new modal configuration window.
• ‍Visual editing for filters: Combine different conditions, operators. All in a new visual editor.
• ‍Direct endpoint management: Now you can manage, edit and create endpoints directly from the database section or webpage.
• ‍Autofill fields: Fields in POST requests can be automatically filled, such as the user ID, headers, and parameters, streamlining data entry processes.
• ‍New endpoint testing menu: I mean, Postman is good, but testing your endpoints inside Directual is even better.
