Can't sent json body that contain Mustache variables

[JdKock]

Expected Behavior

For the Elasticsearch API I need to send some json body with Mustache variables. Here a simple example:

{
    "script": {
        "lang": "mustache",
        "source": {
            "size": "{{var-limit}}",
            "query": {
                "match_all": {}
            }
        }
    }
}

This should be sent to the API as is. Elasticsearch replaces the variable "var-limit" with the value from params. In Postman this is no problem what is send is: "size": "{{var-limit}}"

Actual Behavior

In Insomnia the mustache variable is trying to be replaced with a value before the request is send to Elasticsearch. There is no variable var-limit so what is now send is: "size": "NaN".

I suggest using nunjucks syntax keys raw and endraw to stop it from tokenising your input using something like this. {% raw %}your double braced value goes here {{ dontchangeme }}{% endraw %}

@jackkav Thanks! This works now with: "size": {% raw}"{{var-limit}}"{% endraw %}

But what do you suggest to do with the following: "tags": {{#toJson}}var-tags{{/toJson}}

This should be sent to the API as is. I have now this but that don't work:

"tags": {% raw %}{{#toJson}}var-tags{{/toJson}}{% endraw %}

With double quotes it works: {% raw %}"{{#toJson}}var-channel{{/toJson}}"{% endraw %} But than I have "" put around it but I don't want these.
