Shortcut doesn't work

[onemanstartup]

https://github.com/ai/evil-blocks/blob/master/lib/evil-blocks.js#L195 This is not working.

Do you use CoffeeScript?

If init shortcut return object, evil.block will call every method of this object. It was used in old API to split logic:

evil.block '.gallery-control', ->

  initSlideshow: ->
    # do some code

  initControls: ->
    # do some code

I know, that is bad logic, but unfortunately, I have a lot of legacy code and can’t change this shortcut API in current releases :(.

Sorry, for some delay. I return from vacation only today :).

BTW, can you show your code example? Maybe problem is in another place.

Hi. Yeah I know :) Привет) Don't work

evil.block '.ajax-autocomplete', ->
  $(@input_autocomplete).autocomplete
    source: (request, response) =>
      dependent_params = ''
      $(@dependent).each (index, element) ->
        dependent_params += '&dependent' + $(element).serialize().replace(/.+%5B/, '%5B')
      $.ajax
        url: $(@input_autocomplete).data('url')
        data: '&start_with=' + $(@input_autocomplete).val() + dependent_params
        dataType: "json"
        success: (data) ->
          response data
    minLength: 2
    appendTo: $(@input_autocomplete).parent()
    select: (event, ui) =>
      $(@result_autocomplete).val(ui.item.id)

works

evil.block '.ajax-autocomplete',
  init: ->
    $(@input_autocomplete).autocomplete
      source: (request, response) =>
        dependent_params = ''
        $(@dependent).each (index, element) ->
          dependent_params += '&dependent' + $(element).serialize().replace(/.+%5B/, '%5B')
        $.ajax
          url: $(@input_autocomplete).data('url')
          data: '&start_with=' + $(@input_autocomplete).val() + dependent_params
          dataType: "json"
          success: (data) ->
            response data
      minLength: 2
      appendTo: $(@input_autocomplete).parent()
      select: (event, ui) =>
        $(@result_autocomplete).val(ui.item.id)

Yeap, problem is that $(@input_autocomplete).autocomplete returns object and CoffeeScript returns all last code line (like Ruby).

I recommend to use non-shorcut or to but false at end on shortcut.

I can fix this API only in next major version, when I will remove old API.

It is minor issue, thanks.
