Testing with API assigned identifiers

[patrickbcullen]

I have an API that assigns an identifier to a resource during the POST request. In my *.apib file I am required to hard code this identifier in my expectations. This obviously does not work because the id changes with every POST. Is there a way to have dredd ignore API generated identifiers?

Hi, this can be solved by using stash for responses in hooks and replacing desired value in transaction dynamically in before hook. Here is an example application using this pattern.

That worked great for me. Thanks for the help.
