Can I use "content" in etlua?

[impul-so]

Hi Leafo,

Is content a reserved method for future? Can I use in my .etlua?

--app.lua
app:enable("etlua")
app:get("/test", function(self)
   if self.params.show then
      self.content = "Hello World"
   end
  return {
      layout = false,
      render = "test"
  }
end)

--views/test.etlua
<%=content or "Hi"%>

I found this:

lapis/lapis/html.moon

Line 369 in 9208d1c

content: => -- implement me

the content method you linked is specific to class based widgets, the extending class is responsible for implementing the content method to have it render to anything. Class based widgets are completely separate from the etlua template renderer

Within an etlua template you can access variables you've assigned to the request object by using self, so in your case you can reference self.content in the template
