Adaptive Cards Input Values in Submit

Hi I'm using the Adaptive card SDK in a web page, using a Sample Card like this:

  var card = {
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.0",
"body": [
    {
        "type": "TextBlock",
        "text": "Present a form and submit it back to the originator"
    },
    {
        "type": "Input.Text",
        "id": "firstName",
        "placeholder": "What is your first name?"
    },
    {
        "type": "Input.Text",
        "id": "lastName",
        "placeholder": "What is your last name?"
    }
],
"actions": [
    {
        "type": "Action.Submit",
        "title": "Action.Submit"
    }
]};

and rendering using the usual rubric. I'd like to get the inputs back with the submit so I tried this

     // Set the adaptive card's event handlers. onExecuteAction is invoked
    // whenever an action is clicked in the card
    adaptiveCard.onExecuteAction = function (action) { console.log(action.toJSON()) }

which just gives me: Object title: "Action.Submit" type: "Action.Submit" __proto__: Object

How do I get the values of the input fields on the submit action?

TIA for any comments, advice and answers

You can use the data property of the action object just like this:

  adaptiveCard.onExecuteAction = function (action) {
    alert(`Hello ${action.data.firstName} ${action.data.lastName}`);
  }

Here's a full jsfiddle.

Sample submit

There are many other interesting properties on the action object, but I haven't found good documentation. However, the source code of the adaptive card visualizer contains some usage examples.
