Useful helper functions

Leverage useful helper functions within Hoverfly Cloud's templating engine to simplify and enhance your API simulations.

Concatenate two strings

{{ concat '<string1>' '<string2>' }}

Search and replace text in a string

{{ replace '<string-to-search>' '<string-to-replace>' '<replacement-string>' }}

Create an array from a delimited string

This can be particularly useful when dealing with the results of a JSONPath query that returns an array, as these are space delimited strings of values.

{{ split '<delimited-string>' '<delimiter>' }}

Change the HTTP response code

If you are following a pattern where you want a single request/response pair to return different HTTP response codes based on the outcome of logic, then you can do that using the following function:

{{ setStatusCode <any-valid-http-response-code> }}

Set the value of an HTTP response header

You can set the value of an HTTP header dynamically from script:

{{ setHeader '<header-name>' '<new-value>'}}
