Setting these projects up is a lot of fun at first. After a few deployments, however, we felt there should be a way to optimise our workflow and bootstrap environments a bit quicker. <\/p>\n<p>We wanted to craft a skeleton project that would provide structure and repeatability. After quick validation we decided that <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dotnet\/aspnetcore\/tree\/main\/src\/ProjectTemplates\/Web.ProjectTemplates\/content\/WebApi-CSharp\">Weather Forecast<\/a> project is probably good enough as API starting point. With that part out of the way we also needed to have a client application that we could use while developing and handing the API over to the client. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our constraints<\/h2>\n<p>Given the purpose of our template we also had a few more limitations:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clean desk policy<\/strong> &#8211; the only required tools are Docker and VS Code (and lots or RAM! but that would be another day&#8217;s problem). Everything else should be transient and should leave no residue on host system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offline friendly<\/strong> &#8211; demos and handovers can happen on-site, where we won&#8217;t necessarily have access to corporate WiFi or wired network<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open Source<\/strong> &#8211; not a constraint per se, but very nice to have<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With that in mind, our first candidate Postman was out, and after scratching heads for a little while we stumbled upon <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/hoppscotch\">Hoppscotch<\/a>. A &#8220;light-weight, web-based API development suite&#8221; as it says on the tin, it seems to deliver most of the features we&#8217;d use.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting up with Docker<\/h2>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.to\/search?q=hoppscotch\">heaps of examples<\/a> on how to use Hoppscotch, but we haven&#8217;t seen a lot regarding self-hosting. Probably, because it&#8217;s fairly straightforward to get started:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"bash\" class=\"language-bash\">docker run -it --rm -p3000 hoppscotch\/hoppscotch<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>After that we should be able to just visit <code>localhost:3000<\/code> and see the sleek UI:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"VS Code dev container running Web API with terminal output\" class=\"wp-image-996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.png 723w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-300x130.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>hoppscotch UI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building containers<\/h2>\n<p>Before we get too far ahead, let&#8217;s codify the bits we already know. We start VS Code and browse through a catalog of available dev containers&#8230; This time round we needed to set up and orchestrate at least two: we&#8217;ve got our app as well as Hoppscotch sitting in the same virtual network. That led us to opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/vscode-dev-containers\/tree\/main\/containers\/docker-from-docker-compose\">docker-from-docker-compose<\/a> container template. On top of that, we enhanced it with dotnet SDK installation like our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/index.php\/2021\/09\/28\/aws-lambda-dev-container-in-120-seconds\/\">AWS Lambda<\/a> container. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, the <code>docker-compose.yml<\/code> needs Hoppscotch service definition at the bottom:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"yaml\" class=\"language-yaml\">  hoppscotch:\n    image: hoppscotch\/hoppscotch\n    ports:\n      - 3000:3000<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Should be smooth sailing from here: reopen in container, create a web API project and test away! Right?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few quirks to keep in mind<\/h2>\n<p>As soon as we fired up the UI and tried making simple requests, we realised that Hoppscotch is not immune to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cross-origin_resource_sharing\">CORS<\/a> restrictions. Developers offer a couple of ways to fix this: <\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>enable CORS in the API itself &#8211; that&#8217;s what we ended up doing for now<\/li>\n<li>set up browser extension, but we couldn&#8217;t go that route as it would moot our clean desk policy. It also it not yet available in Microsoft Edge extension store<\/li>\n<li>finally, we can use <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/hoppscotch\/hoppscotch\/wiki\/Proxy\">proxyscotch<\/a> but that looked like a rabbit hole we may want to explore later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Authentication mechanism support <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/hoppscotch\/hoppscotch\/issues\/1817\">is hopefully coming<\/a>, so we&#8217;ll watch that space.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s one more interesting behaviour that caught us off guard: the client would silently fail SSL certificate check until we manually trusted the host in another tab.  There are <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/index.php\/2020\/06\/27\/running-https-with-docker\/\">other more technical solutions<\/a> but the easiest for now is to avoid SSL in development.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HoppscotchSSLCertValidation-1024x503.gif\" alt=\"Hoppscotch SSL certificate validation settings toggle\" class=\"wp-image-998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HoppscotchSSLCertValidation-1024x503.gif 1024w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HoppscotchSSLCertValidation-300x147.gif 300w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HoppscotchSSLCertValidation-768x377.gif 768w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HoppscotchSSLCertValidation-1536x755.gif 1536w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HoppscotchSSLCertValidation-1200x590.gif 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Hoppscotch ssl trust error<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Once again, we used our weapon of choice and <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/tkhadimullin\/vscode-dev-containers-hoppscotch\">produced an artifact<\/a> that enables us to develop and test containerised APIs faster!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"505\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hoppscotch-e2e-demo-1024x505.gif\" alt=\"End-to-end demo of Hoppscotch testing the Web API dev container\" class=\"wp-image-999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hoppscotch-e2e-demo-1024x505.gif 1024w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hoppscotch-e2e-demo-300x148.gif 300w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hoppscotch-e2e-demo-768x379.gif 768w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hoppscotch-e2e-demo-1536x758.gif 1536w, https:\/\/blog.wiseowls.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hoppscotch-e2e-demo-1200x592.gif 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>end to end setup flow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite a few recent engagements saw us developing APIs for clients.
