object.eval with additional newline

Hi

I am using Scriban with a custom object that contains basically labels.

Lets say I have the object Labels = { Label1: “L1”, Label2: “L2”}

I can use {{ Labels.Label1 }} and are getting the correct value “L1”

As we want some custom labels which are not known at runtime, we have a local object custom: [ {key: “Labels.Label1”, value: “C1”} ]

Now I have a function that looks into the custom array and tries to find an entry, and if nothing is found, it evaluates the given “item” using object.eval.

When I call

“Labels.Label1” | label “:”

I get “L1:” back, note that the colon is directly behind “L1”

When I call

“Labels.Label2” | label “:” I get “L21:” back, note that the colon is in a new line behind “L2”

Why is this happenng?

{{func byKey(label)
   ret label.key == key 
end}}

{{func label(item, suffix = "")

    key = item
    labelObject = custom | array.filter @byKey
    if labelObject.size == 1 
        ret (labelObject[0].label) + suffix
    else
        ret (item | asString) + suffix
    end
end
}}

We will try to put something together on your basis. Thanks so far

Thanks for the explanation, but what I see is an output, but I don’t see why it is failing. Eval is working fine in the case as I showed above, so a reproducible small program is necessary because I’m missing something here. You are mentioning a newline problem with eval, I don’t see this correctly explained.

Note, this editor allows to enter html text 😉

<div>C1:</div>
L2<div>:</div>
