How to remove a variable from request after use in Sightly?

I've a situation where I needed a request attribute to identify from which container component the child components are rendered. Based on which I am changing the behaviour of child component. However, I want to clean off the request attribute after the child components are rendered. How do I achieve this in sightly?

Solution

  • You can write a script (say clear.js) to clear request variable:

    /*
 * Clear request objects
 */

"use strict";

use([], function () {
    request.removeAttribute("variableName");
    request.removeAttribute("variableName");
});

    Call this script from your sightly code:

    <sly data-sly-use="clear.js"> </sly>
