Using Eco and CoffeeScript

Question

How can I use If statement to specific a variable that is defined in the docpad.coffee file.

I want to do something like this:

<% if sponsor.type == 'Gold': %>
<li class="sponsor-item gold" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
  <a href="<%= sponsor.url %>" class="sponsor-logo sponsor-link" itemprop="url">
    <img src="<%= sponsor.logo %>" alt="<%= sponsor.name %>" class="photo" itemprop="image">
  </a>
<% else: %>
<li class="sponsor-item" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
  <a href="<%= sponsor.url %>" class="sponsor-logo sponsor-link" itemprop="url">
    <img src="<%= sponsor.logo %>" alt="<%= sponsor.name %>" class="photo" itemprop="image">
  </a>
<% end %>

This is a code I've made, but he find the string but doesn't add the class "gold" (defined in the li) in the gold sponsor type.

To get variables defined in your template data you must prefix them with the @ character, like so @sponsor -> this translates to this.sponsor in javascript.

This is because template data variables are assigned to the this scope in eco. You can read more about this here: https://github.com/sstephenson/eco#the-context-object
