Effective variables for a component
const url = 'https://example.com/api/v1/components/example/effective-variables';const options = {method: 'GET'};
try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);} catch (error) { console.error(error);}curl --request GET \ --url https://example.com/api/v1/components/example/effective-variablesResolves the variables that cascade onto a component (platform -> location -> system -> component): names union, values override most-specific-wins, with the winner and the shadowed candidates it overrode. The system band comes from the component’s PRIMARY membership; resolving against a named system is not offered here yet, unlike effective-tags. Gated by variable:read; the component must be in the caller’s component read scope.
