How to verify ARRAY response in POSTMAN?

When response is {product id : 123456789}

Below postman code works properly -

pm.test("Body is correct", function () {pm.response.to.have.body("{product id : 123456789}");});

But when response is an array like this [{product id : 123456789}]

Below both are not working--

pm.test("Body is correct", function () {pm.response.to.have.body("[{product id : 123456789}]");});

pm.test("Body is correct", function () {pm.response.to.have.body([{product id : 123456789}]);});

Any idea or specific code ?? Thank you in advance !!!

You can also check if the result is an array, and even loop through the array using basic Javascript.

pm.test('Validate Data is an array', function () {
    const jsonData = pm.response.json();
    pm.expect(jsonData.Data).to.be.an.instanceOf(Array);
    pm.expect(jsonData.Data.length).to.be.greaterThan(0);
});

pm.test('Validate first product id to be 123456789', function () {
    const jsonData = pm.response.json();
    const rec = jsonData.Data[0];
    pm.expect(rec).to.contain('product id: 123456789');

    // If the field/payload is from an API, you can also do one of:                                                 
    // pm.expect(rec.ProductId).to.equal(123456789);    // expecting field from an API 
    // pm.expect(rec.ProductId).to.equal('123456789');  // if data type is a string      
});

pm.test("Test Case Name", function () {

   var jsonData = pm.response.json();
   var xyz = [{product id : 123456789}];

 pm.expect(xyz).to.deep.equal(jsonData);

});
