How to use Params in Scripts

Scripts can make use of run-time parameters. These are defined during the script design time with default values. These values can be overriden at each run using the dropdown provided next to the run button.

Example Script:

let {newPage, end, except, extract, extractAndSave, store, runStore, waitFor} = __sandbox;
let {params, } = OPTIONS;
(async () => { try {
	// -- START --
	console.log(params)
	const page = await newPage()
	await page.goto(params.url)
	await page.saveSnapshot('snap')
	await store.saveOne(params.storeName, {id: 1, data: params.data})
	// -- END --
	end()
} catch(e) { except(e) } })();
