Salesforce Fact #532 | Access flow output variables in LWC

Now we can embed lightning flow inside LWC using lightning-flow tag. We can provide input to the flow as well as we can get the output variable value.

In order to get the output variables from the flow, we can make use of the outputVariables parameter of onstatuschange event. 

Reference: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/bundle/lightning-flow/documentation

Attached are the screenshots of one such example. In this case, we are returning the record Id of the created contact from screen flow to LWC.

We cannot get it directly using UserInfo object since it has only one method related to role i.e  getUserRoleId(). Using this Id returned we can get the data from UserRole object. But that is not that complex in flow. In case of flow, we can directly get the current user role name using the syntax: {!$UserRole.Name}. Attached are the screenshots.
