External library in Postman
No, linq.js
, or any library not available in the Postman Sandbox cannot be used in Postman (by default, there is a workaround).
EDIT
Actually, if you fetch a script in a request and eval
it, you can use it in Postman. An example is given in this blog post - http://blog.getpostman.com/2015/09/29/writing-a-behaviour-driven-api-testing-environment-within-postman/
I am doing pretty much the same than @grinderX19.
I run this once to load my global variable:
postman.setGlobalVariable("myUtils", function myUtils() {
let utils = {};
utils.function1= function function1(Arg1, Arg2){
<code>
};
utils.function2= function function2(Arg1, Arg2){
<code>
};
return utils;
} + '; myUtils();'
);
Then, I am calling it like this in Postman requests:
//import the global variable
let utils = eval(globals.myUtils);
//Call a function contained by this global variable
var var1 = utils.function1(arg1, arg2);
Hope this helps.
