Access entry variables from a template override

[thisisjamessmith]

In the context of a body builder matrix, we typically allow for changing the background colour of each section. When changing the background colour of a Formie block/entry type, how can I access the selected background colour (a Craft dropdown field) from within a Formie template override? Any other way to do this?

Ah nevermind I think I figured out a solution - I can pass arbitrary variables/objects via the themeConfig object, which can then get read by the field templates with form.themeConfig.whatever.

You can pass in any cariable you like as renderOptions.

{% set renderOptions = {
    myVariable: 'some-value',
} %}

{{ craft.formie.renderForm('contactForm', renderOptions) }}

Which are available in any Formie template as renderOptions.myVariable.
