Hi,
I am trying to pass data from another step into a code step. I’ve looked at the example online but can’t workout out to pass the data into the JSON body e.g.
const body = { "name": inputData.RateName}
Do I need to declare a variable for each input field?
Thanks
Hi
To pass JSON into a code step is fairly easy, while I’m sure there are other ways, I often use this technique.
First you need to parse the JSON string into a Javascript object then you can use it like any other object.
let jsonData = inputData.info.replace(/\r\n|\n/g, "\\r\\n");
let data = JSON.parse(jsonData);
// Now you can use the object in your new object
const body = { "name": data.RateName };
// if you want to output the object:
// output = newObject;
// If you want to return JSON instead of the
// let jsonStr = JSON.stringify(newObject);
// output = {json:jsonStr};
Note: I found new lines in the inputData string cause some errors so I always replace them before parsing the input.
Thanks @squibler - I figured it out shortly after posting.
