Example or docs for LiveScript scope

Question

Am just starting out with Livescript and want to know how the scope works.

Are the any good example/docs that show all scope symbols and usage. Symbols like:

• @
• -> vs ~>
• self
• :=

Edit

The problem I face:

This ethercalc code: line 103. I want to insert a call to a Java script function, i.e. to this send email code.

http://livescript.net documents all that functionality.

• @ means this.

• @prop means this.prop

• -> creates a function, it means function(){}

• -> blah() is function(){ return blah(); }

• (a, b) -> foo is function(a, b) { return foo; }

• self is nothing special, just the name of a variable. Often set to this of an upper scope.

• := means "reassign a variable" - it must already exist. It does not create a new variable. Check out http://livescript.net/#introduction for more info
