This article covers the request properties object in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce.

The request properties object represents an HTTP request and includes various data properties, such as the requested URL, locale, device, user, cookies, and query string parameters. To get the request information, modules can access a read-only request context object that is named this.props.context, and they can change module behavior as required.

Example

The following example shows how to access the request properties object from within the request context.

if (this.props.context.request.user.isAuthenticated) {
    userName = this.props.context.request.user.signinName ? this.props.context.request.user.signinName : '';
    firstName = this.props.context.request.user.firstName ? this.props.context.request.user.firstName : '';
    lastName = this.props.context.request.user.lastName ? this.props.context.request.user.lastName : '';
}

General properties

url – The requested URL.
locale – The locale context (for example, "en-us").
textDirection – The text direction (the possible values are "rtl" and "ltr").
sitePath – The full path of the site.
device – The device that the request came from.
- Type – The device type (for example, "pc").
user – Information about the user. The following properties are included:
- token
- isAuthenticated
- signinURL
- signoutURL
- signUpUrl
- editProfileUrl
- signinName
- name
- firstName
- lastName

- customerAccountNumber
query – A list of query string parameters.

Test a module that has an authenticated signed-in state

Some modules might require that the state be signed-in for testing. To create a page mock with the signed-in user state for testing modules, follow the steps in simulate-the-signed-in-state.
