It would be great if I was able to refer to a variable in a class namespace
using only it's string value.
I guess this is a kind of eval-esque construct for those familiar with Perl
and Python.
Example source :-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$classname = 'foo'
class foo {
$bar = "baz"
notice("I am class $classname with a variable \$bar=$bar")
}
include $classname # Awesome - I can use a string value for class
includes!
notice("$foo::bar") # I can reference a value using its *actual* name
...
# But this doesn't work ...
$value = inline_template("$<%= classname %>::bar")
notice("I'd really like 'baz' below but I only get \$foo::bar")
notice("$value")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
output :-
notice: Scope(Class[foo]): I am class foo with a variable $bar=baz
notice: Scope(Class[main]): baz
notice: Scope(Class[main]): I'd really like 'baz' below but I only get
$foo::bar
notice: Scope(Class[main]): $foo::bar
So near and yet so far :-(
Is there a way to do this using some special syntax, a function call or a
possible plugin perhaps?
