How to change JSON response output format?

[welken23]

Greetings!

I am running a request of the form:

### basic get statement
GET https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer
user-agent: neovim

And I get a response in the form of:

### basic get statement
GET https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer
HTTP/2 200 

# @_RES (formatted)

How do I change the configuration file settings so that the JSON response is processed with jq . like this:

$ curl -s -A "neovim" -L 'https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer' | jq '.'
{
  "login": "boltlessengineer",
  "id": 60088301,
  "node_id": "MDQ6VXNlcjYwMDg4MzAx",
  "avatar_url": "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/60088301?v=4",
  "gravatar_id": "",
  "url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer",
  "html_url": "https://github.com/boltlessengineer",
  "followers_url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer/followers",
  "following_url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer/following{/other_user}",
  "gists_url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer/gists{/gist_id}",
  "starred_url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer/starred{/owner}{/repo}",
  "subscriptions_url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer/subscriptions",

  "events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer/events{/privacy}",
  "received_events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/boltlessengineer/received_events",
  "type": "User",
  "user_view_type": "public",
  "site_admin": false,
  "name": "Seongmin Lee",
  "company": null,
  "blog": "https://boltless.me",
  "location": null,
  "email": null,
  "hireable": true,
  "bio": "Student developer",
  "twitter_username": null,
  "public_repos": 48,
  "public_gists": 0,
  "followers": 42,
  "following": 7,
  "created_at": "2020-01-20T06:50:13Z",
  "updated_at": "2025-02-05T04:52:36Z"
}

My configuration file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/rest-settings.lua:

return {
  "rest-nvim/rest.nvim",
  ft = "http",
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    opts = function(_, opts)
      opts.ensure_installed = opts.ensure_installed or {}
      table.insert(opts.ensure_installed, "http")
    end,
  },
}

Thank you!

Seems to be a duplicate of #417. See this comment: #414 (comment) on how to configure the plugin to use jq as a formatter.
