How to get macro input parameters

Question

I'm trying to set up a macro using atlassian connect (express). This macro requires a custom editor with some custom input parameters.

This works just fine for the preview which gets called with all the parameters in the url, but when loading my custom editor i cannot understand how to get a hold of the macro params. My first thought was that the editor url got called with these params in the query, but no. Should they be?

This page in the documentation: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/modules/dynamic-content-macro/

has an example where they use the Atlassian JS API and calls "getUrlParameter", but without the input params in the url, that doesnt help much.

So i am a little confused.

Perhaps a little late, but I ran into the same question and by trial and error I found out you can add them to the url yourself in atlassian-connect.json:

"url": "/path?space-key={space.key}&page-id={page.id}&labels-to-ignore={labels-to-ignore}"

Where labels-to-ignore is a custom parameter.

In my js code, I can reference it in an app.get route handler like so:

let labelsToIgnore = req.query['labels-to-ignore'];
