Question

var testRuleInput = {
    "ruleName" : "renderDataVerificationFields",
    "dependencies" : [
        {
            "fieldName" : "mailingStreetAddress",
            "resource" : "verificationResults",
            "attribute" : "verifyStreetAddress"
        }
    ]
};

However, when I later call console.log(testRuleInput.dependencies.attribute); I get undefined. Confused!

Answer 1

dependencies is an array of objects.

Update your code with:

console.log(testRuleInput.dependencies[0].attribute)

Or drop the array syntax:

"dependencies": {
    "fieldName": "mailingStreetAddress",
    "resource": "verificationResults",
    "attribute": "verifyStreetAddress"
}
