Adobe Experience Manager Sites & More

jmccoskery · 11/11/15

I have a site where we're setting some request attributes that are used across the whole page via a JS-use file:

// requestAttributes.js

use(function(){

request.setAttribute('testAttribute","test attribute value");

});

And sightly markup that looks like this

<html>

</html>

</sly>

Is there a way to access the request attributes natively in Sightly (i.e. ${request.attributes["testAttribute"]})? I know that I could write a second js-use file to act as a getter for retrieving the attribute value, but ideally I'd like to do access it straight from the markup rather than having data-sly-use files in all of my include files.

Thanks!

FYI since labs.6dgloba.com is down, here's a link to the same post about accessing request variables in Sightly (HTL) on my personal blog: https://www.danklco.com/posts/2015/01/23/accessing-request-variables-sightly/
