For example, if you create a managed user with ID `42f8a60e-2019-4110-a10d-7231c3578e2b`, resourceName returns `managed/user/42f8a60e-2019-4110-a10d-7231c3578e2b`. * **request**: Information related to the request, such as headers, credentials, and the desired action. Also includes the endpoint, and payload to be processed. | | `onUpdate`, `postUpdate`*Returns JSON object* | - **object**: The content of the object being updated. - **oldObject**: The state of the object, before the update. - **newObject**: Changes to be applied to the object. May continue with the `onUpdate` trigger. - **context**: Information related to the current request, such as client, end user, and routing. - **resourceName**: The resource path of the object the query. - **request**: Information related to the request, such as headers, credentials, and the desired action. Also includes the endpoint, and payload to be processed. | | `onDelete`, `onRetrieve`, `onRead`*Returns JSON object.* | * **object**: The content of the object. * **context**: Information related to the current request, such as client, end user, and routing. * **resourceName**: The resource path of the object the query. * **request**: Information related to the request, such as headers, credentials, and the desired action. Also includes the endpoint, and payload to be processed. | | `postDelete`*Returns JSON object.* | - **oldObject**: Represents the deleted object. - **context**: Information related to the current request, such as client, end user, and routing. - **resourceName**: The resource path of the object the query is performed upon. - **request**: Information related to the request, such as headers, credentials, and the desired action. Also includes the endpoint, and payload to be processed. | | `onSync`*Returns JSON object* | * **oldObject**: Represents the object prior to sync. If sync has not been run before, the value will be `null`. * **newObject**: Represents the object after sync is completed. * **context**: Information related to the current request, such as client, end user, and routing. * **request**: Information related to the request, such as headers, credentials, and the desired action. Also includes the endpoint, and payload to be processed. * **resourceName**: An object representing the resource path the query is performed upon. * **syncResults**: A map containing the results and details of the sync, including: * **success** (boolean): Success or failure of the sync operation. * **action**: Returns the name of the action performed as a string. * **syncDetails**: The mappings attempted during synchronization. | | `onStore`, `onValidate`*Returns JSON object* | - **object**: Represents the object being stored or validated. - **value**: The content to be stored or validated for the object. - **context**: Information related to the current request, such as client, end user, and routing. - **resourceName**: The resource path of the object the query is performed upon. - **request**: Information related to the request, such as headers, credentials, and the desired action. Also includes the endpoint, and payload to be processed. | ## Property object | Trigger | Variable | | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `onRetrieve`, `onStore`*Returns JSON object* | * **object**: Represents the object being operated upon. * **property**: The value of the property being retrieved or stored. * **propertyName**: The name of the property being retrieved or stored. * **context**: Information related to the current request, such as client, end user, and routing. * **resourceName**: The resource path of the object the query is performed upon. * **request**: Information related to the request, such as headers, credentials, and the desired action.
