Store the result of the processed event in the event-queue entry (new field?)

[oklemenz2]

It would be good, to be able to access the process result in the event queue entry, like you can access the error, if any occurs...

Maybe configurable per event?

[oklemenz2]

Could function processEventQueue also return the result data from the processes events, in correlations with the reference id?

this currently works like this:
https://github.com/cap-js-community/event-queue/blob/main/test/asset/outboxProject/srv/service/saga-service.js

      return {
        status: req.data.status ?? 2,
        nextData: req.data.nextData
      };

lets talk about how we can improve this

This only works for custom actions, but for CRUD (e.g. remote service), the on handler is provided by CAP and thus only an object with the data is returned...

I see some options:

• for follow up events succeeded, ...: always pass the previous return value (if there is any) to the next event. But more data is needed as you said in the other issue like: referenceEntityKey and so on.
• Provide access to the former event via: req.eventQueue.triggerEvent; what do you think? In that case you would have all information from the triggeringEvent (referenceEntityKey, payload). The return value of the triggeringEvent would be passed as data to the next event?

IMO would option two would would cover all required information; also what you requested in: #439

[oklemenz2]

Yes, I guess option 2 would be generic and future proof... Like it!
