Transfer info from a plugin to a facet

[thorman]

Hello,

Is there a good way to transfer some data from a plugin to a facet.

I have an option in the plugin that I would like to transfer to the facet.

I would just add a method on the facet and pass in what you need Is that helpful at all? If not, then I'm not really sure I understand what you are asking.

Today I create the facet like this:

event.fire(new InstallFacets(CamelRoutePrjFacet.class));

But there isn't any way to pass along any initial data here.

but I now see that the is a project.installFacet as well, maybe this should be used instead.

Or is best practice to create it with an event and then use the project.getFacet?

I now see that there are a lot of Facet functions in the project class, so I'll try this instead

project.getFacet(CamelRoutePrjFacet.class).setPrjDescription(prjDescription);

Thanks

You could also try using a @ProjectScoped context object to hold any transfer data that you need. But there may be a bug that prevents doing that in Facets, if I recall correctly. I would use the project.installFacet() methods, as you discovered. That's probably a safe route!
