Kreya 1.19 and 1.19.1 - What's New

Kreya 1.19 is here, and in the meantime we have already released 1.19.1. Together they bring GraphQL, OAuth 2.0 Device Flow, and a set of polish improvements across the CLI and UI.

GraphQL support​

GraphQL operations allow you to execute queries, mutations, and subscriptions against a GraphQL API. Add a new operation by clicking the icon. Next, choose a descriptive name for your operation and hit enter.

You can also enter variables for your query in the "Variables" tab in JSON format. These variables can be used in your query with the $ prefix (e.g. $bookId).

If you don't have a GraphQL API yet, you can experiment with some GraphQL operations in our example project, which you can pull from GitHub.

OAuth 2.0 Device Flow​

We have added support for the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant (formerly known as the Device Flow) that enables devices with no browser or limited input capability to obtain an access token. To use this, create a new authentication in Project > Authentication and select the Grant type Device code.

You can then choose this new authentication for an operation. Pressing the Update button will start the Device Flow.

UI improvements​

Recent projects are searchable​

You can now search for recent projects in the launch window. Start typing the name of the project you are looking for, and a list of matching projects will appear.

Create a new project​

You can now create a new project directly from the application menu. Select Kreya > New project... and enter the necessary project information.

Importer type selection​

The process of selecting an importer type has been simplified. Choose your type at the top of the page and enter the required importer information.

Operation actions​

We have moved all operation-related actions into the operation header. Actions such as 'Change gRPC method', 'Reset operation' and 'History' can now be found there.

Inline create operation​

We have optimized the process of creating an operation in Kreya. First, you enter the name, and then you can select the gRPC method in the operation header.

The same applies to REST operations if you have imported API definitions. You can also select a template in the operation header.

Insomnia collection v5 import support​

We have added support for importing Insomnia collection v5 files. In the application menu, select Kreya > Import, then select Insomnia collection (v5) and your file.
