Coffeescript class object in array

Question

I have some class with some functions and properties

exports.textareaWidget = class textareaWidget extends Widget
name = null    
getHtml: ->
        this.generateHtml(widgetHtml)

Then I create an object and add to array:

    obj = new w.textareaWidget()
    obj.name = "msgBody"
    console.log obj.getHtml() # works
    arr.push(obj)
# getting from arr
for field in arr
  result = result + field.getHtml()

When I want to get it from array I can access properites (name) but I can't access functions (getHtml). Why and how can I make it working ? The error:

TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'getHtml'

When I want to get it from array can we see that code portion? — vcsjones

There's identation missing in name = null and getHtml: ->. Like this, these statements are not part of the class definition! — Myrne Stol

It was also hard to diagnose because you were not accessing name you were assigning to i,t therefore creating a new property... — malix

You probably mean to indent the name and getHtml definitions:

exports.textareaWidget = class textareaWidget
  name: null    
  getHtml: ->
        this.generateHtml(widgetHtml)
