Is the "variables" definition still supported?

[arnaupv]

I do not see any example in the documentation of how to define "variables".
However, this is present in the code v1.0.30

I remember that I saw some docs about the topic (some Examples), but I'm wondering if this feature is being deprecated and if there is documentation still available.

Do you mean like used here? https://community.home-assistant.io/t/floorplan-now-available-as-a-lovelace-card/115489/433?u=ozgav

Hi @OzGav , I mean, like described here in the code.

And here in the floorplan actions.

I had forgotten about this. I don’t use it but here is someone who did it might help you?

https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/master/config/www/custom_ui/floorplan/clock_config.yaml

I don’t know why @pkozul didnt add reference to this in the docs?

I know this is a old discussion, but the variables is still in use. I've mentioned for @pkozul, that it's still missing in the docs.

With that said, the following solution works as expected:

      variables:
      # Name can also be something without the "floorplan." prefix
      # it's just easier to handle and navigate in the keys
        - name: floorplan.state_light_spotlys_gang
          value: 'null'
        - name: floorplan.example_variable
          value: 'Bob example initiated'

      startup_action:
      # variable_set will only work as expected, if the variables has been declared in the variables: key
        - service: floorplan.execute
          service_data:
            script1: |
              > // Example  
              console.log("🥸 Floorplan started - I'm triggered by the startup_action config-key");
        - service: floorplan.variable_set
          service_data:
            variable: floorplan.example_variable
            value: |
              > console.log("🥸 Hi, example_variable will now be defined");
              return "Bob updated in startup_action";
        - service: floorplan.variable_set
          service_data:
            variable: floorplan.state_light_spotlys_gang
            value: |
              > // Not used for anything, but examples to ha-floorplan
              return "initiated";

Hopefully other people can use this for something 😄 .
