  • m
    we switched over to 
    Function
    from 
    eval
    for security reasons, so it still executes
  • m
    but for script tags, we should use eval
  • m
    top level functions should act just like normal top level functions
  • u
    but for the function I get 
    Uncaught ReferenceError: hello_world is not defined
  • m
    Right, it's a bug
  • m
    imo
  • u
    you think it is fixed in > 1.1.0?
  • m
    No
  • u
    Is there a workaround?
  • m
    One sec, I will fix it for 1.4, which I am releasing today
  • u
    oh that was fast 🙂
  • m
    Ah, wait
  • m
    I can go even faster
  • m
    there is a config option: htmx.config.allowEval
  • m
    set that to true
  • u
    I think it is by default, no?
  • m
    by default it is false
  • u
    oh I thought it was the other way round. Thanks. I will check it now.
  • m
    No, no
  • m
    I'm wrong
  • m
    (sorry, still pre-coffee)
  • m
    OK, I will need to fix this for 1.4, gimme a few
  • u
    Thank you!
  • m
    OK, I looked into it, and it turns out to be harder than I thought
  • m
    so, the work around is this:
  • m
    Copy code
    js
  window.whatever = function(foo) {
    // do something with foo
  }
  • m
    holy smokes I figured it out this is insane
  • m
  • m
    > Well, the Ecma spec considers a reference to eval to be a "direct eval call", but an expression that merely yields eval to be an indirect one -- and indirect eval calls are guaranteed to execute in global scope.
