How to try a Post request?

TIL I can't use Postman to try Post requests due to how tRPC handles requests. What can I use? Is there a simple way? Is there a client similar to Postman with a tRCP extension? Thank you so much

@jacin can you expand on what you're trying with postman? I mean yeah it's probably not the most convenient but I just tried it with insomnia, which is very similar to postman just a bit less feature rich than postman. Worked fine with a simple test? Dunno if I can help any more than that, but can get results.

  test_2: t.procedure
    .input(
      z.object({
        test: z.string(),
      })
    )
    .mutation(async ({ input: { test } }) => {
      return { success: true, test };
    }),

  test_2: t.procedure
    .input(
      z.object({
        test: z.string(),
      })
    )
    .mutation(async ({ input: { test } }) => {
      return { success: true, test };
    }),

Thank you so much! With Insomnia it works! I think the way tRPC handles requests is not supported by Postman somehow. Thank you!

You're most welcome! @jacin just incase you did want to get it working with postman, here's what I did on there as well - seems to work too. I know in some orgs there are privacy requirements so just incase it's necessary for your application :)
