Aliases
An alias defines a local macro.
A typical use case is to provide access to a shadowed field.
Aliases are not members of a struct. They can be referred to only within the struct, and they do not appear in the output.
alias.cue
let A = a // A is an alias for a
a: {
d: 3
}
b: {
a: {
// A provides access to the outer "a" which would
// otherwise be hidden by the inner one.
c: A.d
}
}
$ cue eval alias.cue
a: {
d: 3
}
b: {
a: {
c: 3
}
}
