can't access "this" property

[75lb]

i'm trying and failing to access the this property in my context.. my context object looks something like:

{  this: "whatever" }

but i can't access the value "whatever".. i have tried all these template variations:

{{this.this}}

{{this/this}}

{{this.[this]}}

or is there another way?

i am no expert, but i believe this is a reserved word in JavaScript and has a special meaning. try using another key for that property.

this is a reserved word, the string value "this" is not.. it is a perfectly valid property name, just as "return", "if", "break" etc. are all valid property names.

This is a bug. It should resolve the property if using {{[this]}} or {{this.this}} syntax but something in the parser treats any references to this as a scope lookup.

./print-script "{{[this]}}"

Source:
1 '{{[this]}}'
