Installation

npm install @usebruno/converters

Usage

Convert Postman collection to Bruno collection

const { postmanToBruno } = require('@usebruno/converters');

// Convert Postman collection to Bruno collection
const brunoCollection = postmanToBruno(postmanCollection);

Convert Postman Environment to Bruno Environment

const { postmanToBrunoEnvironment } = require('@usebruno/converters');

const brunoEnvironment = postmanToBrunoEnvironment(postmanEnvironment);

Convert Insomnia collection to Bruno collection

const { insomniaToBruno } = require('@usebruno/converters');

const brunoCollection = insomniaToBruno(insomniaCollection);

Convert OpenAPI specification to Bruno collection

const { openApiToBruno } = require('@usebruno/converters');

const brunoCollection = openApiToBruno(openApiSpecification);

Convert WSDL file to Bruno collection

import { wsdlToBruno } from '@usebruno/converters';

const brunoCollection = await wsdlToBruno(wsdlContent);

Example

const { postmanToBruno } = require('@usebruno/converters');
const fs = require('fs/promises');
const path = require('path');

async function convertPostmanToBruno(inputFile, outputFile) {
  try {
    // Read Postman collection file
    const inputData = await fs.readFile(inputFile, 'utf8');
    
    // Convert to Bruno collection
    const brunoCollection = postmanToBruno(JSON.parse(inputData));
    
    // Save Bruno collection
    await fs.writeFile(outputFile, JSON.stringify(brunoCollection, null, 2));
    
    console.log('Conversion successful!');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error during conversion:', error);
  }
}

// Usage
const inputFilePath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'demo_collection.postman_collection.json');
const outputFilePath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'bruno-collection.json');

convertPostmanToBruno(inputFilePath, outputFilePath);

WSDL Import Features

The WSDL importer supports the following features:

• Service Discovery: Automatically extracts service endpoints from WSDL definitions
• Operation Mapping: Converts WSDL operations to Bruno HTTP requests
• SOAP Envelope Generation: Creates proper SOAP envelopes for each operation
• Header Configuration: Sets up appropriate Content-Type and SOAPAction headers
• Environment Variables: Creates environment variables for service base URLs
• Folder Organization: Groups operations by port type for better organization

WSDL Import Example

import { wsdlToBruno } from '@usebruno/converters';
import fs from 'fs/promises';

async function importWSDL() {
  try {
    // Read WSDL file
    const wsdlContent = await fs.readFile('service.wsdl', 'utf8');
    
    // Convert to Bruno collection
    const brunoCollection = await wsdlToBruno(wsdlContent);
    
    // Save Bruno collection
    await fs.writeFile('soap-collection.json', JSON.stringify(brunoCollection, null, 2));
    
    console.log('WSDL import successful!');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error during WSDL import:', error);
  }
}

importWSDL();

CLI Usage

You can also use the Bruno CLI to import WSDL files:

# Import WSDL file to a directory
bruno import wsdl --source service.wsdl --output ~/Desktop/soap-collection --collection-name "SOAP Service"

# Import WSDL from URL
bruno import wsdl --source https://example.com/service.wsdl --output ~/Desktop --collection-name "Remote SOAP Service"

# Import WSDL and save as JSON file
bruno import wsdl --source service.wsdl --output-file ~/Desktop/soap-collection.json --collection-name "SOAP Service"
