Layer7 API Management

In LAC, I created a new resource(say XYZ) which is Table-Based Resource and then created a new level(say ABC) under that resource which is JavaScript Resource. So in my javascript, I want to extract one-row value i.e. Date from XYZ and then compare with the sys date and then return the TRUE or FALSE response.

So how can I extract the field value from parent resource(XYZ) and populate in my child resource(ABC) which is JAVASCRIPT based?

Ex:

Resource XYZ(Parent): Table Based

Returns: {"date":"28/05/2018","time":"8pm","place":"Mumbai"}

Resouce ABC(Child): Javascript Based

I want to get the value of date from parent resource and compare it with my system data.

I am not able to extract the value. SO is it even possible or not? If yes, then how?

Thanks!!

In your JavaScript resource (which is a child resource, if I understood you correctly), whenever your JavaScript code gets called, there should see a variable called "containingRow", which I am now noticing is not exposed in the code editor using autocomplete, so thanks for pointing that out -- we'll fix it. It is documented, though:

Please let us know if that doesn't answer your question, and thanks for your input!

Good afternoon,

Were you able to resolve the issue? What was the final result?
