Way to get category ID within callback

[bryanburgers]

Is there any way to get the category ID within a callback after a valid Category URL Title is found? I realize I can use {route_X_cat_id}. But I'd like to set it to my own variable.

$env_config['resource_router'] = array(
  'news/:any/:pagination' => function($router, $any, $pagination) {
    if ($any->isValidCategoryUrlTitle()) {
      $router->setGlobal('my_category_id', /* HERE */);
      $router->setTemplate('home/news-category');
    }
    //...
  }
)

While {route_X_cat_id} works, I don't want to, within my template, depend on the fact that the :any is the first wildcard in my routes. If I change that to :page:3/:any/:pagination in the future, then I need to go into my template and change {route_1_cat_id} to {route_2_cat_id}.

You can use getMeta:

if ($any->isValidCategoryUrlTitle()) {
  $cat_id = $any->getMeta('cat_id');

Ah, good deal! Any idea when getMeta will show up in an official release? For ease of maintenance among my team, we try to only use released versions of add-ons.

I downloaded 1.0.5 today and I get a 'undefined method getMeta' error.

Tagged v1.0.6 today, which has the getMeta method.
