Dynamic Variables

Dynamic variables enable you to generate and use random data in your testing workflow. Bruno uses the faker.js library to generate random data. You can use these variables like any other variables in Bruno. The syntax to use dynamic variables is {{$randomData}}, and you can use them in the request body, authentication, parameters, and other fields.

Usage Examples

Here are some common use cases for dynamic variables:

1. Test Data Generation:

   {
     "user": {
       "id": "{{$randomUUID}}",
       "name": "{{$randomFullName}}",
       "email": "{{$randomEmail}}",
       "phone": "{{$randomPhoneNumber}}",
       "address": {
         "street": "{{$randomStreetAddress}}",
         "city": "{{$randomCity}}",

     }
   }
