Re: Some questios about digitalData

Yes to the previous responses, but also, it’s feasible to maintain a queue in an array that is progressively added onto as information becomes available, and use that to build an abstract representation of the digitalData object with the most recent values. See https://github.com/google/data-layer-helper

There are numerous ways to build a JavaScript object and you do not have to rely on the method in the examples.  Here is a link to the W3C spec that may help:

Instead of having the digitalObject definition in one single expression (using one single object literal), can we use different expressions (like my example below) to define digitalData?
