Reading all the request parameters

[#1]

Hi,

As we discussed in MBFS work session, we need to know how to read all the incoming request parameters using iterative pattern manner.

For example: We are submitting form which has 10+ form input components. How do we extract these in Apigee side ?

Thanks.

I don't know what MBFS means...but....

If the input API request has a dynamic set of query parameters, then you will need some flexible open-ended logic to shred all the query params. Fortunately you have the JavaScript callout policy within Apigee Edge that can do this sort of thing.

Here is a recent answer that may illustrate how to shred query parameters.

The basic logic looks like this;

var queryStringPairs = context.getVariable("request.querystring").split("&");
queryStringPairs.forEach(function(nameValuePair) {
  var nameAndValue = nameValuePair.split('=');
  if (nameAndValue.length == 2) { // is it a name=value form?
      // query param name: nameAndValue[0]
      // query param value: nameAndValue[1]
  }
});

You may want to insert your own logic in that forEach that.... sets context variables, or does other things to the Message context.
