I am very new to javascript and postman. Below is my code showing only 1 out of 8 items in the "line\_item"array. i want to skip the request for item i when {{orders.line\_itms.i.name}} is empty where i range from 1:8.does anyone knows how to do this efficiently? Thank you! =)))

“line\_items”: [  
{  
“title”:“{{orders.line\_items.1.name}}”,  
“quantity”: {{orders.line\_items.1.quantity}},  
“price”:“{{orders.line\_items.1.price}}”,  
“properties”: [  
{  
“name”: “{{orders.line\_items.1.properties.1.name}}”  
},  
{  
“name”: “{{orders.line\_items.1.properties.2.name}}”  
},  
{  
“name”: “{{orders.line\_items.1.properties.3.name}}”  
},  
{  
“name”: “{{orders.line\_items.1.properties.4.name}}”  
},  
{  
“name”: “{{orders.line\_items.1.properties.5.name}}”  
}  
]  
}]
