I have a customized node module for json validation, which i need to use it in my postman scripts but looks like postman only supports tv4. Does anyone have any idea what can be done in this case?

Hey everyone :waving_hand:, We have released support for external packages in the latest version of Postman, you can read more about this here: Use External Packages in Postman Scripts opened 03:41PM - 11 Apr 25 UTC (UTC) …

@rajireddy95 Have a look at this blog post http://blog.getpostman.com/2017/07/28/api-testing-tips-from-a-postman-professional/ and scroll down to TIP #5: reuse code. This talks about how you can basically create your own JS Libraries and pull them into a variable and call them at any time. Hope th…

@yoelspotts You’ll first have to check if the library in question has a CDN equivalent that you can use. For instance, if you’d like to use strman , you can head over to it’s CDN link: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/strman/1.3.1/strman.js , copy the contents over into the value of an environme…

Hi @kunagpal :smile: , i’m trying use the faker , so as you said checked for its CDN link: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Faker/3.1.0/faker.js i tried several times to copy the contents to environment variable faker_code. the postman app v6.1.4 got struck every time. [Inkedfaker%20issue_L…

@gopikrishna4595 It looks like you’ve hit the limits of the data editor. This can be overcome by using pm.sendRequest as follows: pm.sendRequest('https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Faker/3.1.0/faker.min.js', (err, res) => { (new Function(res.text()))(); });

Hi @kunagpal , Thanks for your time :grinning:. still observing the below error in console, ReferenceError | faker is not defined TypeError | Cannot set property 'faker' of undefined Following is the screenshot, [faker] Following is the snippet i’m using in Pre-Request Script pm.sendRequest(…

Greetings @kunagpal , can you provide any more info on this ? Thanks & regards, Gopi :cowboy_hat_face: .

@gopikrishna4595 This is happening because the faker code from the CDN is trying to set the faker object as a property of window, which is undefined in the Postman Sandbox. You could work around this by explicitly defining window as an empty object before running the faker injection snippet.

Thanks @kunagpal :smiley: i tried but unable to achieve. not sure whether i did the same as you said, or not :confused:. Can you help on how to achieve this ? Update: sorry, i conveyed the wrong msg/way earlier. Thanks & regards, Gopi :cowboy_hat_face: .
