I am trying to set a variable from following phone number with value: “+33652556777” (index 4 in JSON attached below) which is the last object in contacts (index 4).
To do so is pretty simple:
let jsonData = pm.response.json();
console.log (jsonData.contacts[4].phone_numbers[0].value)
const PhoneNumber = jsonData.contacts[4].phone_numbers[0].value
pm.environment.set("Jacky", PhoneNumber);
Since I have to use different query parameters to filter by eg. created_at=asc, desc, the property of the phone_numbers order might change index number and I won’t be able to fetch desire phone number "+33652556777” instead it will set a different phone number which I cannot allow.
I know there is way to fetch our number and make it variable for next requests, which is iterating over properties or keys in the object “ for….in or for…of ” but for some reason I cannot achieve it.
What I could achieve is to get through first object “contacts” but impossible to get to its nested array “phone_numbers”. Here is how I did it:
let jsonData = pm.response.json();
let contact;
for (let filter of jsonData.contacts){
if (filter.last_name == "Rowland"){
contact = filter;
}}
console.log (contact);
Could you please help?

You could use something basic like this:
_.each(pm.response.json().contacts, (contact) => {
if(contact.last_name === "Rowland") {
pm.environment.set(`${contact.first_name}_${contact.last_name}_number`, contact.phone_numbers[0].value)
}
})
There are probably better and more performant ways to do this but if you just want to set a variable for that contact, no matter where they are in the response - This would work :D
you can use forEach or _.each as danny mentioned to get all numbers else use:
console.info(jsonData.contacts.find((a)=>a.first_name==="Jacky").phone_numbers[0].value)
use array.find to find the contact with first_name jacky adn then get phone_number[0].value from it.
if you want all numbers from that array then use:
console.info(jsonData.contacts.find((a)=>a.first_name==="Jacky").phone_numbers.map((a)=>a.value))
here we map the result to get only the numbers from phone_number array.
is it what you looking for !?
I have my JSON file as follows:
{
"data": {
"member1": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Gather",
"symbol": "AB1"
"last_updated": 1525137271
},
"member2": {
"id": 2,
"name": "Banner",
"symbol": "AB2",
"last_updated": 1525137260
},
"member3": {
"id": 3,
"name": "Tecker",
"symbol": "AB3",
"last_updated": 1525137260
},
"member4": {
"id": 4,
"name": "Walter",
"symbol": "AB4",
"last_updated": 1525137260
}
}
I would like to get the data ONCE from "member1", "member2"...
Of course it would be easy to get the data if the names were all identical. Any ideas ?
You can use Object.keys, Object.values and Object.entries to enumerate the properties of an object.
In your case, for example, let's say we wanted an array of all the names:
Object.values(json.data).map(member => member.name)
Here's a nice article that explains the three.
I am currently working on a REST API / website project, where my REST API has to return an array of objects from the server, via a response and using GSON to make a Json array out of the data. However, when trying to get values from the javascript array for the website, I keep getting undefined. This is the array:
var userArr =[
{
"0x1": {
"firstName": "Test1",
"lastName": "Test1",
"hobbies": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Fodbold",
"people": [
"0x1"
]
}
],
"id": 1,
"address": {
"id": 1,
"street": "Street1",
"cityInfo": {
"id": 1,
"zipCode": "0555",
"city": "Scanning"
},
"infoList": [
"0x1",
"0x2"
]
},
"phones": [
{
"id": 1,
"number": "123124",
"info": "0x1"
}
]
}
];
When I try to call userArr[0].firstName, I get an error saying that it's undefined, even though the data is there. This is from a get call, which I am doing in my javascript from my REST API, which sends back this specific array. I have tried looping through the array, with multiple objects inside, however I am unable to retrieve any info at all.
Your userArr is an array of objects which do not have firstName property. They have only one property named 0x1 for some reason. And this 0x1 property has firstName property.
You can access firstName of 0x1 property using this notation:
userArr[0]["0x1"].firstName
Here is the working demo:
var userArr = [{
"0x1": {
"firstName": "Test1",
"lastName": "Test1",
"hobbies": [{
"id": 1,
"name": "Fodbold",
"people": [
"0x1"
]
}],
"id": 1,
"address": {
"id": 1,
"street": "Street1",
"cityInfo": {
"id": 1,
"zipCode": "0555",
"city": "Scanning"
},
"infoList": [
"0x1",
"0x2"
]
},
"phones": [{
"id": 1,
"number": "123124",
"info": "0x1"
}]
}
}];
console.log(userArr[0]["0x1"].firstName);
By the way, there is a missing closing } bracket in the end of the array in your code.
I think if you write this code this way it is easy to understand and find the problem
var userArr =[
{
"0x1": {
"firstName": "Test1",
"lastName": "Test1",
"hobbies": [{"id": 1,"name": "Fodbold","people": ["0x1"]}],
"id": 1,
"address": {"id": 1,"street": "Street1","cityInfo": {"id": 1,"zipCode": "0555","city": "Scanning"},
"infoList": ["0x1","0x2"]},
"phones": [{"id": 1,"number": "123124","info": "0x1"}]
}
}
];
You also missing the last second bracket.
Then you could use this console.log(userArr[0]["0x1"].firstName);
try this one
userArr[0]["0x1"].firstName
Incase value "0x1" is dynamic, you can access it by using Object.keys(userArr[0])[0] to get the first key of the object.
Here is solution:
var userArr = [{
"0x1": {
"firstName": "Test1",
"lastName": "Test1",
"hobbies": [{
"id": 1,
"name": "Fodbold",
"people": [
"0x1"
]
}],
"id": 1,
"address": {
"id": 1,
"street": "Street1",
"cityInfo": {
"id": 1,
"zipCode": "0555",
"city": "Scanning"
},
"infoList": [
"0x1",
"0x2"
]
},
"phones": [{
"id": 1,
"number": "123124",
"info": "0x1"
}]
}
}];
console.log(userArr[0][Object.keys(userArr[0])[0]].firstName);
I have a nested JSON returned from an API that I am hitting using a GET request, in POSTMAN chrome app. My JSON looks like this

I am trying to test whether my response body has "name":"India" and the "game" with "some_game_id1" contains the "name":"cricket".
I went through this link where the answer is to have an array for "name"created and then check within the array whether the array contains the value. I tried this but my code fails.
Also, I tried searching the element by the index within the JSON body using this -
var searchJSON = JSON.parse(responseBody);
tests["name contains India"] = searchJSON.result.name[0]==="India";
But this also fails. I tried using the .value appended with the second line of above code, but it also fails. How can I check this thing?
You need to put [0] after result (which is an array) rather than name (which is a string).
Also, use a regular expression to check whether the name contains 'India', because using === only checks if the name is exactly India.
var searchJSON = JSON.parse(responseBody)
tests["name contains India"] = /India/.test(searchJSON.result[0].name)

This is a follow up question for Compare two arrays and update with the new values by keeping the existing objects using javascript which was ansewered by #Siderite Zackwehdex
Please check this plunker I'm getting the deleted Object in the changedArray1.Is there any option to fix this.Its working fine for other changes like add,update but not for delete.
One feature that I tried to implement is to add an additional object ie., "removedIds":[23] , that holds the deleted id's as an array in each level of objects and identifying them in the evaluation process.. but didn't find the right soultion
Example data:
var parentArray1=[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "test",
"context": [
{
"operationalContextId": 1.1,
"valueChainEntityDetails": [
{
"valuChainEntityId": 3,
"name": "test",
"context": [
{
"id": 3.1,
"name": "test 3.1",
"activityDetails": [
{
"activityId": 22,
"name": "test 3.1"
},
{ //trying to remove activity id 23
"activityId": 23,
"name": "changed test 23"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
var changedArray1=[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "test2",
"context": [
{
"operationalContextId": 1.1,
"valueChainEntityDetails": [
{
"valuChainEntityId": 3,
"name": "changed test3",
"context": [
{
"id": 3.1,
"name": "test 3.1",
"removedIds":[23] ,
"activityDetails": [ //activity id 23 is removed in this JSON but reflecting in parentArray1
{
"activityId": 22,
"name": "changed test 3.1"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
