Hi all ! I am writing a dynamic json response template in which I want to do the following : As part of a bigger json .. return the following key value pair only if the if statement is satisfied. Otherwise I don’t want the key/value returned but rest of the json returned. I’ve tried the following , however it still returns the key: “Foo”: “{{#if (contains request.headers.bar.0 ‘MQ’)}}Q{{/if}}” However this will return “Foo”:‘’ Where as I don’t want the key/value returned at all. Is there a way of doing conditional json keys ? Thanks so much!

In cases like this I think it’s better to just create two separate responses. Keep it simple.

I agree with @Bas Dijkstra, you could create two separate stubs and one of them will match on the header containing

MQ

and include the

Foo

field in the response and the other stub won't include the field. If that isn't possible you could just wrap the

if

around the whole field to determine whether it is included or not:

{
  "status": "OK",
  {{#if (contains request.headers.bar.0 'MQ')}}
  "Foo": "Q",
  {{/if}}
  "message": "Hello"
}

Hi Bas and Lee For the first approach - that would mean I have 2 separate response json files and then my mocking logic will be spread between 1. Request.json that directs the request based on this field to the proper response.json 2. Response.json file that Has other dynamic response templating The second approach doesn’t work inside my response.json file as it expects property:value pair and you can’t write if statements before Any other thoughts?

Wouldn't something like this be enough?

{
  "mappings": [
    {
      "request": {
        "method": "GET",
        "url": "/something",
        "headers": {
          "bar": {
            "contains": "MQ"
          }
        }
      },
      "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "body": "response_including_foo"
      }
    },
    {
      "request": {
        "method": "GET",
        "url": "/something",
        "headers": {
          "bar": {
            "doesNotContain": "MQ"
          }
        }
      },
      "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "body": "response_without_foo"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Or am I missing something here?

The second approach doesn’t work inside my response.json file as it expects property:value pair and you can’t write if statements before

This only doesn't work in your file because your response file is a json file. You are wanting to send a json response but that doesn't mean your response file has to be json. Wiremock will still handle it fine even if your IDE/editor shows that there are errors in the json due to the handlebars
