ViewsHow to dynamically create and iterate Json Object inside a Json Array using Postman - Javascript
I have a payload like mentioned below :
{
"id": "0001",
"type": "donut",
"name": "Cake",
"ppu": 0.55,
"batters": {
"batter": [
{
"id": "1001",
"type": "Regular"
},
{
"id": "1002",
"type": "Chocolate"
},
{
"id": "1003",
"type": "Blueberry"
},
{
"id": "1004",
"type": "Devil’sFood"
}
]
},
"topping": [
{
"id": "5001",
"type": "None"
},
{
"id": "5002",
"type": "Glazed"
},
{
"id": "5005",
"type": "Sugar"
},
{
"id": "5007",
"type": "PowderedSugar"
},
{
"id": "5006",
"type": "ChocolatewithSprinkles"
},
{
"id": "5003",
"type": "Chocolate"
},
{
"id": "5004",
"type": "Maple"
}
]
}
**I want to increment the json objects dynamically(it can be a duplicate as well) which is inside the array topping based on the array size. For example if mention the array size as topping[10] it is suppose to create a payload of 10 objects and push those 10 objects of similar type inside the array topping ** Is it possible to dynamically create json objects and post the request in postman??
Kind note : The size of the array should be parameterized. Please let me know. Please find the image highlighted in green. I want to dynamically increase the payload(topping array size based on the index using postman

You could do this:
Tab Pre-request
let req = {
"id": "0001",
"type": "donut",
"topping": []
};
let numberOfTopping = 5;
for (let i = 0; i < numberOfTopping; i++) {
let toppingItem = {
"id": `${_.random(5001, 5010)}`,
"type": `${_.sample(["Glazed", "Sugar", "None"])}`
};
req.topping[i] = toppingItem;
}
pm.variables.set("req", JSON.stringify(req));
Tab body
Result
{
"id": "0001",
"type": "donut",
"topping": [
{
"id": "5006",
"type": "Glazed"
},
{
"id": "5001",
"type": "Sugar"
},
{
"id": "5006",
"type": "Glazed"
},
{
"id": "5006",
"type": "None"
},
{
"id": "5008",
"type": "Sugar"
}
]
}
