             Summary: Add option to include attributes in request scope for Sightly data-sly-request and data-sly-include
                 Key: SLING-5812
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5812
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Scripting
    Affects Versions: Scripting Sightly Engine 1.0.18
            Reporter: Vlad Bailescu
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: Scripting Sightly Engine 1.0.20


A common pattern for sending information between scripts/components is setting specific attributes in request scope before including another resource or script. At the moment this cannot be done nicely in Sightly.

It would be very helpful to set request attributes as in following examples:
{code}<sly data-sly-include="${'script.html' @ requestAttributes=helper.attributesMap}"/>{code}
or:
{code}<sly data-sly-resource="${'some/path' @ resourceType='some/type', requestAttributes=helper.attributesMap}"/>{code}
where {{attributesMap}} is a {{Map<String, Object>}}

The attributes would be set before the actual script/resource inclusion and reset/unset back afterwards.
