Use
scope.get(key)
looks up a value in the current scope’s
context, if a value is not found, parent scope’s context
will be explored.
var list = [{name: "Justin"}, {name: "Brian"}];
var justin = list[0];
var curScope = new Scope(list).add(justin);
curScope.get("name"); //-> "Justin"
curScope.get("length"); //-> 2
Prefixing a key with "./"
prevents any parent scope look ups.
Prefixing a key with one or more "../"
shifts the lookup path
that many levels up.
var list = [{name: "Justin"}, {name: "Brian"}];
list.name = "Programmers";
list.surname = "CanJS";
var justin = list[0];
var brian = list[1];
var curScope = new Scope(list).add(justin).add(brian);
curScope.get("name"); //-> "Brian"
curScope.get("surname"); //-> "CanJS"
curScope.get("./surname"); //-> undefined
curScope.get("../name"); //-> "Justin"
curScope.get("../surname"); //-> "CanJS"
curScope.get(".././surname"); //-> "undefined"
curScope.get("../../name"); //-> "Programmers"
