Temp

Required: no

The temp directive in the response section specifies an object that can be used to create custom temporary variables. It also creates a temp variable in IML through which you then access your variables. The temp collection is not persisted and is lost after the module execution is complete.

This directive is executed after the request has been made, but prior to everything else in the response section: condition, iterate, output or any other response directive.

When you have multiple requests, this directive is also useful for passing values between requests.

                "hello": "world"

        }
    },
    {
        "temp": {
            "param1": "bar-{{temp.foo}}", // will be "bar-baz"
            "param2": "hello, {{temp.hello}}" // will be "hello, world"
        },
        "response": {
            "temp": {} // will have the following properties:
                       // temp.foo == "baz"
                       // temp.hello == "world"
                       // temp.param1 == "bar-baz"
                       // temp.param2 == "hello, world"
        }
    }

When specifying temp directives in different requests and in the response section, the contents of the temp collection are not overwritten, but instead merged.
