# Request ID Generator

Request ID generator is an Insomnia plugin that adds a template tag for generating unique formatted request IDs to your requests

## Parameters

The following parameters are optional and allow formatting of the generated request ID

#### App Nickname

The nickname of the app under test.


Type: *String*

#### Environment

The environment where the app is being tested (e.g. - staging, PRD, etc.)


Type: *String*

## Details

For making each request ID unique, the current Unix epoch time is appended to the string returned. Thus, the format of the generated request ID will be:

```

--

```

In absence of one or more parameters, the corresponding entry in the request ID will be skipped.

## Usage

The plugin is not currently available as an NPM package and thus needs to be manually imported into the local plugins folder for Insomnia. Details are available [here](https://docs.insomnia.rest/insomnia/introduction-to-plugins/#plugin-file-location)

The final file structure after import will be

```
