ReferenceError: generate is not defined

[fgnass]

Hi Jed,

I get the following error and honestly don't understand what's going on here and why the tests pass. I'm obviously missing something here:

ReferenceError: generate is not defined
    at lave (/Users/flx/Projects/forks/lave/index.js:65:14)

Shouldn't https://github.com/jed/lave/blob/master/lave.js#L65 use options.generate instead of just generate?

The name options seems kind of misleading. In this case options.generate isn't even really an option (is it?), it's a function to do things.

@jamen well, passing that function is indeed optional so I think the naming makes sense. On the other hand I'd really appreciate if lave() would return a string by default and obtaining the AST would be optional instead. @jed: Would you consider adding escodegen as dependency? (I'm aware that one could in theory use any Mozilla AST compatible formatter, I'm just wondering if this is even a real use case.)

Hey, guys!

Could you help me solve this problem please? I need to run a file javaScript codes on the node. But I can not do that. When I run, this message appears:

var newCode = escodegen.generate(contents);

Before I run, I installed esprima and escodegen on node.
