Looping through an array of nested objects

🙋 Help
1

Hi all,
I am trying to set a variable from following phone number with value: “+33652556777” which is the last object in contacts (index 4).

To do so is pretty simple:

let jsonData = pm.response.json();
console.log (jsonData.contacts[4].phone_numbers[0].value)  
const PhoneNumber = jsonData.contacts[4].phone_numbers[0].value
pm.environment.set("Jacky", PhoneNumber);

Since I have to use different query parameters to filter by eg. created_at=asc, desc, the property of the phone_numbers order might change index number and I won’t be able to fetch desire phone number "+33652556777” instead it will set a different phone number which I cannot allow.

I know there is way to fetch our number and make it variable for next requests, which is iterating over properties or keys in the object “ for….in or for…of ” but for some reason I cannot achieve it.

What I could achieve is to get through first object “contacts” but impossible to get to its nested array “phone_numbers”. Here is how I did it:

let jsonData = pm.response.json();
let contact;
for (let filter of jsonData.contacts){
if (filter.last_name == "Rowland"){
   contact = filter;
}}   
console.log (contact);

Could you please help?
