Extend Context

The extendContext action is used to add any additional context, information, or metadata to be used within the widget. This can be used to influence user flows, user logic, and more.

Usage​

To extend the context within the widget, call the extendContext method on the widget instance with a second object param:

window._asurion_widget('extendContext', { foo: 'bar' });

The type signature of the extendContext method is as follows

(params: Record<string, unknown>) => void

Examples​

Adding new context​

The data passed to extendContext will be merged with what currently exists in context.

/*
Existing Context
{
  "foo": "bar",
  "baz": "foo"
}
*/

window._asurion_widget('extendContext', { extended: true });

/*
Extended context
{
  "foo": "bar",
  "baz": "foo",
  "extended": true
}
*/

Overriding existing context​

/*
Existing Context
{
  "foo": "bar",
  "baz": "foo"
}
*/

window._asurion_widget('extendContext', { foo: undefined });

/*
Extended context
{
  "baz": "foo"
}
*/
