# standard\_​event\_​data

```oobleck
variable | standard_event_data: event_type, context: string
```

returns [string](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#string)

Generates a JSON payload for standard events.

The `standard_event_data` filter generates JSON payloads for standard events. It can be used on [`product`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/product), [`collection`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/collection), and [`cart`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/cart) objects.

The only supported event type is `"view"`.

For products, you can optionally pass a context parameter. Valid values are: `page`, `search`, `collection`, `dialog`, and `recommendation`. If omitted, `context` is `null`. For carts, you can optionally pass a context parameter. Valid values are: `page` and `dialog`. If omitted, `context` is `null`. If the cart hasn't been created yet, then the payload returns `null` for the `cart` field. The context parameter is ignored for collections.
