Then click\non the tag and customize the parameter with the proper values.\n\n![Param Template Tag](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superruzafa/insomnia-plugin-param/master/images/template-tag.png)\n\n## Types:\n\n- `🔤 String`, accepts raw strings\n- `*️⃣ Password`, same as previous but masking the input\n- `🔢 Integer`, accepts raw integers\n- `☑️ Boolean`, accepts boolean values\n- `📅 Unix timestamp`, ask for timestamps and renders them as the\n   number of seconds since the January 1st, 1970.\n- `📅 Unix timestamp with milliseconds`, same as above but including milliseconds.\n- `📅 ISO-8601`, same as above but format timestamps using the\n   ISO-8601 standard.\n- `🔗 URL`, accepts strings that are URLs\n- `✉️ e-mail`, accepts e-Mail addresses\n- `🖍 HTML Color`, accepts colors and renders the value using the HTML `#RRGGBB`\n  color format.\n\n## Name and description\n\nThe `Name` is an optional but recommendable field that gives the parameter with\na representative name of what it stands for.\nAditionally you can use the format `Name: Description` to give the users a better\nexplanation about the purpose of the parameter.\n\n### Examples\n\nWith no value:\n\n![Without name](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superruzafa/insomnia-plugin-param/master/images/param-without-name.png)\n\nWith `Username`:\n\n![Without name](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superruzafa/insomnia-plugin-param/master/images/param-with-name.png)\n\nWith `Username: Enter here your Github username`:\n\n![Without name](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superruzafa/insomnia-plugin-param/master/images/param-with-name-and-desc.png)\n\n## Control when the dialog is shown:\n\n- `Ask always`, always shows an empty dialog\n- `Ask always, but suggest the last entered value`, same as above\n   but allows the user to reuse/modify the previous value.\n- `Ask always, but suggest the default value`, same as above\n  but presents the user the initial default value for the parameter.\n- `Ask once, and use the value for further requests`, shows the\n  dialog once and uses the entered value in the next requests\n  until you close the Insomnia app.\n\n## Parameter options\n\nTo be implemented\n\n[Insomnia]: https://insomnia.rest\n[Param plugin page]: https://insomnia.rest/plugins/insomnia-plugin-param\n[Plugin Hub]: https://insomnia.rest/plugins\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsuperruzafa%2Finsomnia-plugin-param","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsuperruzafa%2Finsomnia-plugin-param","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsuperruzafa%2Finsomnia-plugin-param/lists"}
