jsonPath在apigee JavaScript策略中不起作用

Question

We have a json input from which we have to decode each element in the input and replace it back before going to the backend. we have used a Extract Variables policy to extract the elements, and in a Javascript policy we decode the elements by using a for loop. Now we have to replace the extracted elements with the decoded values. We tried to use jsonPath and replace the elements but getting a error called

Execution of JavaScript-1 failed with error: Javascript runtime error: "ReferenceError: "jsonPath" is not defined. (JavaScript_1_js#5). at line 5

The code we used for jsonpath is

var input = new String(context.getVariable("request.content"));
context.setVariable("input",input);

var path = jsonPath(input, "$..soldto").toJSONString();
context.setVariable("path",path);

Can we not use jsonPath in Apigee Javascript policy?

Answer 1

By default if JSONPath is not present - you can download and add it to your proxy bundle. You reference it using includeURL in the JS policy. This make it available to your JS code for use.

Also take a look at this same on how to use a custom JS lib which is not included.

https://github.com/apigee/api-platform-samples/tree/master/sample-proxies/base64encoder/apiproxy

The sample uses crypto JS.
