Karate Netty - CallSingle but not so single

What I had till today:

I have get_jwt.feature and I call it as a part of karate-config.js. Since I have used one account test@test.com I needed only one jwt and I can reuse it across scenarios. callSingle worked as a charm in this case.

Today:

Suddenly I have need for jwt's from two accounts which I dont want to generate for each scenario, callSingle falls short of this task as it does exactly what its supposed to be doing. Now I have hacky idea, I can simply make two files, get_jwt.feature and get_jwt_user2.feature, and single call them each.

So my question: Is there a better way of doing this?

You can use "2 levels" of calls. So point the callSingle() to a JS function that calls get_jwt.feature 2 times, maybe with different arguments and then return a JSON. Pseudo-code below. First is get_jwts.js:

function fn(users) {
  var jwt1 = karate.call('get_jwt.feature', users.user1);
  var jwt2 = karate.call('get_jwt.feature', users.user2);
  return { jwt1: jwt1, jwt2: jwt2 };
};

Then in karate-config.js

config.jwts = karate.callSingle('classpath:get_jwts.js', users);

And now you should be able to do this:

* print jwts.jwt1
* print jwts.jwt2

You can also do a feature-->feature call chain. Do let me know if this works !

EDIT: see Babu's answer in the comments, looks like you can pass an array to callSingle() ! so that may be quite convenient :)
