Description
It would be really nice to be able to generate code of any kind through template literals or something similar.
This is useful for example when creating endpoints for severside APIs where Postman is used to design the API itself.
Currently i have a makeshift code generator in JS to generate special code through generated HTTP (see image below).
But this has limitations. For example path parameters are not provided here.
