Allow to build custom_data sample data about appsignal-ruby HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @pdany1116! For the use case where you're adding single primitive values one at a time, you might find the tags more useful, as they do work cumulatively:

Appsignal.tag_request(:user_id => 42)
Appsignal.tag_request(:is_admin => false)

Generally, we try not to make too many assumptions about what the structure of the user-provided custom data is. But since calling set_sample_data more than once is fine, you can implement this yourself as a monkey-patch on the Appsignal::Transaction class:

class Appsignal::Transaction
  def add_custom_data(key, value)
    @custom_data ||= {}
    @custom_data[key] = value
    set_sample_data('custom_data', @custom_data)
  end
end

Appsignal::Transaction.current.add_custom_data(:current_context, {:user_id => 42})
Appsignal::Transaction.current.add_custom_data(:params, input)

I hope this helps! I'm closing this issue, but do feel free to re-open (or reach out at [email protected]) is this does not work for you.

Thanks @unflxw for the answer! Tags are great, I already use them for some additional info. The monkey-patch should do the trick, thank you!
