¿Load file into a variable?

[sir-farfan]

Hello

I know I can read the contents of a file and use them as body with <@ ./requestBodyImport.json

But, is there a similar shortcut to read the file into an exported variable in order to use it multiple times for different tests?

{{
  export.cert = ( < ./cert.pem ).toString('base64')
  export.key = ( < ./key.pem ).toString('base64')
}}

###
POST /myapp
{
  "cert": "{{cert}}",
  "key": "{{key}}",
}

It is also possible to store the file in a variable using the import syntax. The file is then read in as a string.

@foo={{< ./requestBodyImport.json}}

If you want to read the file yourself using Javascript, the easiest way is to use the methods provided by NodeJS directly (see https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#filehandlereadfileoptions)
