Variable scope in javascript module

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

Hi Alex,

Can you, please, share your code?

You can also try to play with njs code in the command line interface.

For example:

njs
interactive njs 0.2.3

v.<Tab> -> the properties and prototype methods of v.
type console.help() for more information

>>function my(){var g = 'init'; console.log(g); (function() {g = 'anon'})(); console.log(g) }; my()
'init'
'anon'
undefined

CLI, is also available in docker
docker run -i -t nginx:latest /usr/bin/njs
