Pass Lua code as stringv1.0+
You can pass Lua code as a string to the Pre-Function plugin.
In this example, the plugin will run in the access phase to overwrite the connect timeout to the upstream service.
Add this section to your kong.yaml configuration file:
_format_version: "3.0"
plugins:
  - name: pre-function
    config:
      access:
      - ngx.ctx.balancer_data.connect_timeout = 100
Make the following request:
curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8001/plugins/ \
    --header "Accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '
    {
      "name": "pre-function",
      "config": {
        "access": [
          "ngx.ctx.balancer_data.connect_timeout = 100"
        ]
      },
      "tags": []
    }
    '
Make the following request:
curl -X POST https://{region}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/plugins/ \
    --header "accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
