Rename headers with TypeScript in Flows

View as Markdown

This TypeScript example renames the Content-Type and Content-Length headers using camel case. Renaming headers can be useful for normalizing field names for testing purposes and mapping fields to different data models.

Example JSON

The example uses JSON data from a GET request to postman-echo.com like this:

1{
2  "body": {
3    "args": {},
4    "headers": {
5      "host": "postman-echo.com",
6      "x-request-start": "t1757972551.591",
7      "connection": "close",
8      "x-forwarded-proto": "https",
9      "x-forwarded-port": "443",
10      "x-amzn-trace-id": "Root=1-68c88847-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
11      "user-agent": "PostmanRuntime/7.46.0",
12      "accept": "*/*",

17    },

19  },

24      "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",

27      "Server": "nginx",
28      "ETag": "W/"26d-FAKEETAG1234567890"",
29      "Set-Cookie": "sails.sid=s%3AdummySetCookieId0987654321.qwerty9876543210; Path=/; HttpOnly"
30    }
31  },
32  "tests": [],
33  "binary": false

Rename headers with camel case

The following TypeScript takes the headers from a response variable defined by the Evaluate block. It then maps the Content-Type and Content-Length headers to an object named normalized and renames them using camel case.

1const headers = response.http?.headers ?? {};
2
3const normalized = {
4  contentType: response.http.headers["Content-Type"],
5  contentLength: response.http.headers["Content-Length"]
6};
7
8normalized
