Converting Flow variables to global variables

Overview

Flow variables can be:

• passed as URL parameters or URL variables to the user-created API endpoints.
• passed as URL parameters to the run Flow by name API.
• defined when creating nested Flows.

Process

How to convert if the Flow variables are defined when creating nested Flows

Here are the steps you can follow:

Step 1. Create JavaScript Flow.

Step 2. Add the following JavaScript code:

importPackage(com.toolsverse.config);

var vars = scenario.getVariables();
var props = SystemConfig.instance().getProperties();

if (vars != null && !vars.isEmpty()) {
   for (var i = 0; i < vars.size(); i++) {
      props.put(vars.get(i).getName(), vars.get(i).getValue());   
   }
}

If you expect the global variables to be used in the loop with enabled multithreading, replace the line:

var props = SystemConfig.instance().getProperties();

on

var props = SystemConfig.instance().getContextProperties();

Step 3. Add JavaScript Flow to the nested Flow created in step 1.

How to convert if the Flow variables are passed from the API

Here are the steps you can follow:

Step 1. Add the Flow which receives an API request to the nested Flow as step 1. 

Step 2. Add the following conditions to step 1:

importPackage(com.toolsverse.config);

var vars = scenario.getVariables();
var props = SystemConfig.instance().getProperties();

if (vars != null && !vars.isEmpty()) {
   for (var i = 0; i < vars.size(); i++) {
      props.put(vars.get(i).getName(), vars.get(i).getValue());   
   }
}

value = true;

If you expect the global variables to be used in the loop with enabled multithreading, replace the line:

var props = SystemConfig.instance().getProperties();

on

var props = SystemConfig.instance().getContextProperties();
