Insomnia Collection Importer

Plugin Info

Author: Phurpa Tsering  |  Version: 1.0.0  |  Repository: phurpa-tsering/insomnia-importer

A Voiden plugin that imports Insomnia v4 collection exports (.json) directly into your Voiden workspace. It mirrors the same experience as the OpenAPI importer but targets the Insomnia export format, converting every request and folder native Voiden .void files.

What it does

• Reads an Insomnia v4 export JSON and rebuilds the full folder hierarchy inside your active Voiden project
• Converts each request into a .void file with the correct block types — json_body, xml_body, yml_body, restFile, multipart-table, url-table, headers-table, query-table, and path-table
• Merges authentication (Basic, Bearer, API Key, OAuth2) into request headers automatically
• Sanitizes folder and file names for filesystem compatibility
• Shows a live progress indicator and reports any per-request errors without halting the whole import

Supported body types

Insomnia body	Voiden block
application/json	json_body
application/xml / text/xml	xml_body
application/yaml / application/x-yaml	yml_body
application/octet-stream / binary	restFile
multipart/form-data	multipart-table
application/x-www-form-urlencoded	skipped (not supported)
application/graphql	skipped (not supported)

Requirements

• Voiden >=2.0.0
• voiden-rest-api extension (must be loaded before this plugin)

Usage

1. Export your collection from Insomnia: Application → Export Data → Current Workspace → Insomnia v4 JSON
2. In Voiden, drop the JSON file in the active working project and open that JSON file.
3. At the top right corner , you will see Import into voiden.
4. The plugin creates a folder matching the workspace name and populates it with .void files

Building

npm install
npm run build   # builds the plugin bundle
npm run release # build + generate manifest
