Cannot access globals from functions

[adamhalasz]

I'm trying access the global scope from this function:

// js
<% write = (input) -> %>
    <div class="translated"><%- @translate input %></div>
<% end %>

<%- write 'hello' %>

// data
{
    translate: function(input){ return: 'hello world' }
}

but I get this Error:

Cannot call method 'translate' of undefined in page on line 2

You can manually pass this object to custom function if it really needed:

<%- write.call @, 'hello' %>

ECT doesn't change the behavior of inline created functions by default.

There is another, more beautiful way, to save this context:

<% write = (input) => %>
    <div class="translated"><%- @translate input %></div>
<% end %>

<%- write 'hello' %>

Use => instead of ->
