How to use template in response for number type?

[akadnikov]

Hi!
In example Pastries API we have PUT request

with body {"price":2.6}
I'm trying to template response with price value "price":"{{ request.body/price }}"
but in response from mock I get

{
"name": "Eclair Cafe",
"description": "Delicieux Eclair au Cafe pas calorique du tout",
"size": "M",
"price": "2.8",
"status": "available"
}

expected "price": 2.8 (number, not string)

Hello!
For using the number type, you have to serialize your example differently to avoid Microcks interpreting it as a String.
Typically, IIRC, you have to use the serialized JSON form embedded in YAML. Something like:

examples:
  MOCK_0:
    value: |-
      {"name": "Eclair Cafe", "description": "Delicieux Eclair au Cafe pas calorique du tout", "size": "M", "price": {{request.body/price}}, "status": "available"}

that way, the example is considered as a String and not as JSON with type interpolation.

Let me know if those memories are correct.
