Pass values from parent to imported jslt

[anuradharajan]

Hi - Is there a way to pass values from parent jslt to the imported jslt?

[larsga]

Only as parameters to the functions declared in the imported JSLT, I'm afraid.

Could you explain the use case?

Parent jslt
import "common.jslt" as common
let val1 = "someVal"
common:setVal($val1)

I want to access val1 in my common.jslt

I tried this in common.jslt
let val1 = ""
def setVal(propValue)
val1 = propValue

{
"val1" : ${val1}
}

Getting the following exception
com.schibsted.spt.data.jslt.JsltException: Parse error: Encountered " "let" "let ""
on this line
common:setVal($val1)

Thank you, but this is not a use case. This is a full example of trying to do this, but it gives no indication of why you might want to do something like this. The reason I asked is that it's useful to see why you wanted this in the first place. Maybe there is an easier way to achieve the same thing in the language, or maybe there is a good reason why we need to support something like this. Either the way you wanted it, or some other way.
