Contextual event data in custom code event

[justing76805028]

In the event code for a custom code event, is it possible to pass context data in the trigger function, to be available in the action code, in the same way that extension code can:

trigger({
  swipeAngle: 90 // the value would be the detected angle
});

(from Launch Documentation )

In the action code, this context does not seem to be available - the event object has only $type and $rule.

Wow. I expected that this would work, but I'm seeing the same thing.

My Core > Custom Code is this:

And the Action of the same rule is this :

All I see in the console is :

   Rule "test custom code" fired.

1. {$type: "core.custom-code", $rule: {…}}
   1. $rule:
      1. id: "RL02f3b17f28374cbfa44ec037d130a07c"
      2. name: "test custom code"
      3. __proto__: Object
   2. $type: "core.custom-code"
   3. type: "core.custom-code"
   4. get type: ƒ ()
   5. __proto__: Object

How about using a direct call rule, there you can also pass data which then is available with event.detail

Thanks for bringing this up! I can confirm that this data doesn't get passed through currently, but there's no reason we can't support it. I'll put it on our list.

Thanks everyone. I'll use direct call as a workaround for now, and look forward to seeing this in future.

The code is complete for this, but Adobe is going into a blackout period where we won't release new code during the holidays unless there is a critical issue. Because of this, the feature is set to be released in early January.

My birthday is in early January.  Maybe this will be my gift!

Thanks for the update.   I appreciate the care that you give to your work!

This was released yesterday in version 1.4.2 of the Core extension.
