Create EdgeWorkers scripts for Virtual Waiting Room

Follow these steps to create the EdgeWorkers main.js for Virtual Waiting Room.

The Virtual Waiting Room variables are defined in the main.js file. You also need to create a bundle.json file. The main.js and bundle.json are packaged together as a compressed .tgz file.

For more information, see create a code bundle.

Before you begin
Make sure you;

1. Add EdgeWorkers to your contract.

2. Create an EdgeWorker ID to enable the EdgeWorkers behavior in your ​​Akamai​ property configuration.

How to

1. Set the values for the user-defined variables in the EdgeWorkers main.js. The variables must start with a PMUSER_ prefix and the name of the variables must be UPPERCASE as shown in the table.

Example main.js with one waiting room

*/

// Import logging module
import { logger } from 'log';

export function onClientRequest (request) {
  logger.log('Executing EW for VP');
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_ORIGIN_LIMIT', 20);
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_COOKIE_DOMAIN_CONFIG', 'CUSTOM');
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mydomain.com');
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_ID', 1);
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_PATH', '/vwr/waiting-room.html');
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_ASSETS_PATHS', '*/vwr/assets/*');
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_SESSION_DURATION', 300);
  request.setVariable('PMUSER_WR_SESSION_AUTO_PROLONG', true);
}

2. Create the code bundle.
3. Deploy the code bundle.
