How do I access response Body and header inside a function

[ifnotnithya]

I have a requirement where,

• I parse the response Body and set multiple values into multiple env variables to be used in subsequent requests. I dont want to manually add these from UI and also there is a possible response variations.
• Parse specific headers and extract values into a variable.

I am trying to do this in a function. I am not able to figure out how to get the responseBody/headers in the function.
Appreciate help in this.

Thanks

Hi @ifnotnithya

please see all the functions and properties available in tc object

Thanks @rangav
tc.response is what I was missing.
Enhancing the functions in my custom filters and think most(if not all) my current use cases should be solved.

Hi,

I have not figured out how to use the tc.response to store the response body inside a variable in a custom filter. Is it possible that you could give me an example of this? :-)

[rangav]

function preFilter1() {

    // ---- save json
   var jsonBody = JSON.stringify(tc.response.json);
    tc.setVar("json_body", jsonBody);

// ---- save other response types
   var textBody = tc.response.text;
    tc.setVar("text_body", textBody);
}

module.exports = [preFilter1]

Use this vscode will provide autocomplete

/// copy tc-types.d.ts file for vscode autocompletion on tc object
/// <reference path="./tc-types.d.ts" />

[rangav]

you can also use - // @ts-check at the top script file
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/intro-to-js-ts.html

var responseBody = tc.response.json
