Filter/Watch certain endpoints

[faruq-alafghani]

⚠️ Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Having the ability to choose specific endpoints to watch instead of using search would much helpful, especially with big apps that have a long list of hit APIs

💡 Describe the solution you'd like

Add a filter feature that allows the user to watch certain endpoints and skip the others

📊 Describe alternatives you've considered

Saving these filters in history instead of writing them every time

Add a filter feature that allows the user to watch certain endpoints and skip the others

This is already available today though, no?

@cortinico @faruq-alafghani I think chucker has this feature, but not directly.
In chucker we have feature like skipPaths or skipDomains, which takes regex or plain string.

val chuckerInterceptor = ChuckerInterceptor.Builder(context)
      .collector(collector)
      .maxContentLength(250_000L)
      .skipPaths("/anything")
      .build()

That config above will allow every path except path /anything

But, we could use this feature for negative lookahead Regex logic. Check below.

Watch only path /api/transactions, you could do like this:

val chuckerInterceptor = ChuckerInterceptor.Builder(context)
      .collector(collector)
      .maxContentLength(250_000L)
      .skipPaths("^(?!/api/transactions).*$".toRegex())
      .build()

If you want to watch two paths at the same time like /api/transactions and /api/transfers you could do like:

val chuckerInterceptor = ChuckerInterceptor.Builder(context)
      .collector(collector)
      .maxContentLength(250_000L)
      .skipPaths("^(?!/api/transactions|/api/transfers).*$".toRegex())
      .build()
