Question: how to transform response variables nicely?

See original GitHub issue

I’m looking for a nice way (one-liner?) how to transform/extract data from a response into a variable. Example

### Foos
# @name foos
GET /v1/foos

returns:

{
 "items": [
    { 
       "id": 1
    }
  ]
}

Now I want to continue with the first object in the array:

### Foo
# @name foo
GET /v1/foos/{{foos.items[0].id}}

This is ok, but I want to apply foo in multiple requests and, given a larger array switch to another array index. So I have in mind that AFTER the response I store the object in foo and can continue:

### Foos
# @name foo
GET /v1/foos

{{exports.foo =  foos.items[0].id}}

But this doesn’t work as it’s taken a request body. Any idea how to solve this nicely?

thanks for the fix/feature. will test it. Still unsure if == syntax is best choice as used as comparison in other languages. what’s the difference of @slideshow=={{response.parsedBody.slideshow}} and @slideshow={{response.parsedBody.slideshow}} then. First works, second is still cast to string?
