#551 fix

[octoxalis]

With 11ty 0.9.1-beta release to try, I had a glance at the source code to find a fix to my #551 issue .

Removing the empty template content test ( if (!this._templateContent) ) in templateContent getter function removes the error ( Template.js lines 450-459).

get templateContent() {
  if (!this._templateContent) {
    throw new TemplateContentPrematureUseError(
      `Tried to use templateContent too early (${this.inputPath} page ${this.pageNumber})`
    );
  }
  return this._templateContent;
}

Actually, is this content test necessary? Is there a reason to not simply return this._templateContent?

This error is required because it means that templateContent was referenced in a template before it was set by Eleventy! Though, hmm—maybe it needs to be === undefined instead? I can make that change to see if it helps you.

If this doesn’t help you (on 0.9.0-beta.2), I’ll need a reduced test case to move forward here!

The undefined test (if (this._templateContent === undefined ) ) is... fine!
I tried it and I've no more TemplateContentPrematureUseError.

Awesome! Thank you for testing! This will go out with 0.9.0 starting with beta 2
