Dynamic Variable
Use dynamic variables to return randomly generated data
The Faker library enables you to generate a sample data in PostQode using predefined variables. Use these variables same as any other variable in PostQode. Their values are generated at the time of execution. You can find the name of the variable with a $ symbol. For example, $guid or $timestamp.
Please find below the list of dynamic variables and their values are randomly generated during the request/collection:
To use dynamic variables in pre-request or post-response scripts, add pq.variables.replaceIn(),
for example: pq.variables.replaceIn('{{$randomFirstName}}')
