2. Get product code

GET {{baseUrl}}/products/phone-sku

Retrieve all products! 📱🛒

Send the request and read on here.

This request returns an array of products–we're going to script some processing on the array, filtering to find a particular item, and saving the sku (a product code) data to the global variables.

The request you sent to the API received a JSON response that looked something like this (depending on the parameter you sent):

results": [
    {
        "name": "iPhone 12 Pro Blue",
        "sku": "2020/Iph/12/Blu",
        "color": "blue"
    },
    {
        "name": "iPhone 12 Pro Red",
        "sku": "2020/Iph/12/Red",
        "color": "red"
    },
    {
        "name": "Samsung Galaxy S",
        "sku": "2020/Sam/GS/Blu",
        "color": "gray"
    },
    {
        "name": "Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra",
        "sku": "2020/Sam/GN20/Red",
        "color": "red"
    },
    {
        "name": "Samsung Galaxy S20+",
        "sku": "2020/Sam/SGS20P/Magenta",
        "color": "red"
    }
]

✏️ The request accepts a query parameter indicating the product name–you can experiment by checking and unchecking it to see the difference in what it returns.

Step 1: Get the array

In the Tests tab you'll see comments again for each step. First get the response array in a variable and write the length out to the console–Send and check the console:

const phones = pm.response.json().results;
console.info('Phones returned: ' + phones.length);

Step 2: Find a product

Let's filter the array to find a product with a particular property. We'll filter based on the color property and just use the first valid result (feel free to also add a console statement to see what's in the variable):

const redPhone = phones.filter((phone) => phone.color === 'red')[0];

✅ Assignment 1

Throughout the session you will encounter assignments to complete independently, and so these will not include full instructions–if you need help pop a question in the Q&A or use the Qodex forum if the session has ended.

Save the sku property of the first red iPhone you can find to a global Qodex variable.

You will be able to use the SKU in the request body of the 3. Send order request instead of the hardcoded value.

Step 3: Test the filtered object

Let's have a look at a basic structure of a test:

pm.test('Some test', () => {
    pm.expect(1).to.eql(2);
});

Now that you have a single item from the response filtered, add a test to check that it is a JSON object, and that it contains property with a particular value ('red'):

pm.test('Phone found', () => {
    pm.expect(redPhone.color).to.eql('red');
    pm.expect(redPhone).to.be.an('object');
});

Send and check out the Test Results. Try making it fail too, e.g. by changing the color text value from red to blue.

Save this request. Open the next request 3. Send order, check out the docs, and Send.
