Set variable with script part

[LindevdH]

On the base of programming I see my self as a learner/newbe.
With VSCode I am performing checks and manipulations on api calls. At this moment I have the following setup:

@ip = --.-.--.--
@port = ---1
@company = ***
@stable = 2
@flocknumber = 0


### GETBasics
# @name Basics
GET http://{{ip}}:{{port}}/basics/{{company}}/{{company}}-{{stable}}


### Get Medication
# @name medication
# @ref Basics

{{
    if( $global.flocknumber === 0) {
        $global.flocknumber = Basics[0].flockNumber;
    } 
}}
    
GET http://{{ip}}:{{port}}/medication/{{flocknumber}} 

I am Trying to change the variable @flocknumber into the the value of the referenced api call @basics if it is equal to 0.
At this point I don't get any errors The only thing that I can Trace is that ther Get Medication url is executed with a 0 for flocknumber.

I think that the variable flock number is handled as string and you use ===. Try using == or convert the variable to a number

[LindevdH]

Unfortunalty that did not make any change.

All variables can be accessed using just the name, flocknumber. But all variables are scoped to current context. global can be used to prevent the scoping behavior.
I will create a working example,but my notebook is really farm away at he.moment:-)

I did forget to mention the needed exports of the flocknumber.

@flocknumber = 0

###

### GETBasics
# @name Basics
GET https://httpbin.org/json


### Get Medication
# @name medication
# @ref Basics

{{
    console.info(flocknumber, typeof flocknumber);
    if( flocknumber === "0") {
        exports.flocknumber = Basics.slideshow.slides[0].title;
    } 
}}



GET https://httpbin.org/anything?flock={{flocknumber}}

@AnWeber Thanks for the reply/example.
I was able to test the solution today. My final script:

@ip = --.-.--.--
@port = ---1
@company = ***
@stable = 2
@flocknumber = 0

### GETBasics
# @name Basics
GET http://{{ip}}:{{port}}/basics/{{company}}/{{company}}-{{stable}}

### Get Medication
# @name medication
# @ref Basics

{{
    console.info(flocknumber, typeof flocknumber);
    if( flocknumber === "0") {
        exports.flocknumber = Basics[0].flockNumber;
    } 
}}
    
GET http://{{ip}}:{{port}}/medication/{{flocknumber}} 

This wil help me to setup manipulation scripts.
I will have to look for a way to clear the cache in order to work with changes without the need of opening and closing VScoding app. But that is another question.
Thanks for the help. Your solution is realy nice and helpfull.

Kind regard.

I was not able to mark the reply of @AnWeber as answer. Otherwise I would have done that.

You dont need to close VSCode. Use command httpyac.reset`. It clears all my caches
