Given the following API response, I'd like to use the "Response Parsed Body" dynamic variable and select a random id from the array:
[
{
"id": 1
},
{
"id": "2"
}
]
Using [0].id
gives me 1
, but there's no way to select a random item. This is likely a problem with JSONPath, but it would be nice to have Paw implement a way to do this.
The best way to do this is to create a custom dynamic value.
function getRandomInt(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min)) + min;
}
function evaluate(context) {
var request = context.getRequestByName('OtherRequestName')
var lastExchange = request.getLastExchange()
var body = JSON.parse(lastExchange.responseBody)
var list = body // path to list within body
var i = getRandomInt(0, list.length)
return list[i].id
}
