I am trying to fetch value using below statement

var variable_2 = context.getVariable(variablefetch);

My requirement is to fetch this variable_1 irrespective of case. For example if value of this variablefetch could be stored as

variablefetcH = typea

VAriablefetch = typea

VARIABLEFETCH = typea ....etc

So irrecpective of what i pass (in above case variablefetcH,VAriablefetch,VARIABLEFETCH) it shoule be able to fetch value tyea

What is `context`? How does it hold variables? – VLAZ Mar 17 '22 at 12:11
@VLAZ i am trying to fetch from Apigee API product. It holds as key value pair – AWS_Lernar Mar 17 '22 at 12:12
That’s not what variables are for. You could use a [Proxy](//developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy) and use a case-insensitive property name. – Sebastian Simon Mar 17 '22 at 12:12
It looks like you're looking for a kind of hashmap (sometimes referred to as *hash table* or *dictionary*). – MC Emperor Mar 17 '22 at 12:12
@SebastianSimon The link does not seem work (404). – Reporter Mar 17 '22 at 12:13
@Reporter - It works for me, and I don't see an edit mark on the comment. – T.J. Crowder Mar 17 '22 at 12:15
@Reporter The page should say something like _“The page you requested doesn't exist in German but it exists in English”_. Click that link. Wasn’t aware of this redirection behavior of MDN… – Sebastian Simon Mar 17 '22 at 12:16
The page has an automaticly forwarding to suitable language page. For me: `.../de/...` When I changed it to `.../en/...` it works. – Reporter Mar 17 '22 at 13:19
