How can I assign a value to a data variable

[Dunga999]

How can I assign a value to a variable that I can use latter when templating. Looking for examples I came with something like:

{{#assign 'data'}}{{array 'a' 'b' 'c'}}{{/assign}}
...
{{#each ({{data}}) as |value|}}
   {{value}}
{{/each}}

But I can't make it work. Somehow #assign is not recognized. Is this the correct way to do it?

By the way, You have made a great tool. Thank you

I don't know if "#assign" works.

But you can also just define a Data field with some static data.

See this issue for more details https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/issues/892

Yes, I have crossed that option, but I need a more dynamic (not static) data. My full need is that I'm receiving a request with an ID and with that ID I need to query a DB to gather specific data for the response. My issue is how to pass this dynamic data when templating.

If you have an ID in the request parameter or body, you can use get that value and return it in the response.

@Dunga999 Does my proposed solution work for you?

Hi @StefH,

Thanks for the follow up. As I said, I need to handle dynamic data, so your solution didn't directly attend my needs, but pointed me a way to handle the requirement. I created an helper to save the dynamic data in the Data field so I could access it in the templating. I think I didn't gave you the full view of the dynamic data requirement, but I implemented something like this:

{{save 'invoice' (query 'connectionId' 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM Invoice WHERE InvoiceId=@id' id=(request.pathsegments.[3])) }} ... {{#each (Data.invoice) as |item|}} ... "invoiceId": "{{item.col1}}", ... {{/each}}

Being, "save" and "query" the helpers I created.

Again, thank you for the suggestion and for this amazing tool
