Creating a dynamic mock using variables with javascript

When crafting a mock, it's possible to define a template path featuring variables.

For instance, consider setting your path as:

/api/message/send/:sender/:receiver

With this setup, requests like:

/api/message/send/ross/rachel?isMultiMedia=true

will be directed to this mock.

Particularly significant for dynamic mocks, the path variables sender and receiver, along with the query parameter isMultiMedia, will be accessible within the Response Body Content as variables.

To access these variables within the Response Body Content, follow these steps:

• Any path variable can be accessed by prefixing it with pathVariable___ (e.g. pathVariable + three underscores).
• Similarly, any query parameter can be accessed by prefixing it with queryParameter___ (e.g. queryParameter + three underscores).

Illustrated below is how these variables are utilized in the Response Body Content:

return JSON.stringify(
    {
        "message":"Hi there. How are you?",
        "location":"IN",
        "sender": pathVariable___sender,
        "receiver": pathVariable___receiver,
        "isMultiMedia": queryParameter___isMultiMedia
    }
);

The outcome is depicted through the response, showcasing the application of path variables and query parameters:

This walkthrough demonstrates the implementation of dynamic mocks employing variables, allowing you to dynamically adjust your mock responses based on path variables and query parameters.
