Get key on contextmenu click

Question

I am looking to get the key of the menu item which was clicked in a list of contextmenu's, does anyone know how, this is how I create the context menu:

for(var i=0; i<10; i++) {
    appAPI.contextMenu.add("key_" + i, 'Test', function (data) {
        console.log('clicked with key: ', data);
    }, ["all"]);
}

Why do you need to get the key? ContextMenu listeners are declared per key, so you know which key it is. Using your code:

for(var i=0; i<10; i++) {
  (function(key) {
    appAPI.contextMenu.add(key, 'Test', function (data) {
      console.log('clicked with key: ',key, data);
    }, ["all"]);
  })("key_" + i);
}

it is because I have a for loop which creates the menu based on a response from the API therefore I cannot hard code the listener like this! – John Doe Jun 06 '16 at 10:56
In that case, please edit the code and show the loop. – Shlomo Jun 06 '16 at 14:45
done, just a simple for loop for demostrational purposes, but same priciple – John Doe Jun 06 '16 at 15:04
I edited the example adding your loop and an enclosure to retain the key value. – Shlomo Jun 13 '16 at 08:39
