Fusion (Typoscript 2): How to access a variable from a parent object? - neoscms

Question

This is sort of a follow-up question for How to define and access local variable in Typoscript 2 (Neos)?
If I define a local variable, called myLocalVar in the example below, how can I access it from other objects, in this case from Neos.Fusion:Case?
prototype(Some.Namespace:SomeNodeType) < prototype(TYPO3.Neos:Content) {
myLocalVar = ${String.split(q(node).property('example'), '/', 2)}
myResult = Neos.Fusion:Case {
a = Neos.Fusion:Matcher {
condition = ${???.myLocalVar[0] == 'aaa'}
renderer = 'first part is aaa'
}
b = Neos.Fusion:Matcher {
condition = ${???.myLocalVar[0] == 'bbb'}
renderer = 'first part is bbb'
}
}
}
In this concrete example: How can I access myLocalVar from inside Neos.Fusion:Matcher?
The part in question is the condition: condition = ${???.myLocalVar[0] == 'aaa'}

Answer 1

You need to define your myLocalVar as context variable:
#context.myLocalVar = ${String.split(q(node).property('example'), '/', 2)}
the context is inherited by all nesting objects, so you can just access the value like this
a = Neos.Fusion:Matcher {
condition = ${myLocalVar[0] == 'aaa'}
renderer = 'first part is aaa'
}
