Expose a function to docpad.coffee through a plugin

Question

I'm trying to write a docpad plugin that exposes email-obfuscation functions.

At the moment I have this:

extendTemplateData: ({templateData}) ->
  templateData.obfuscate = (emailAddress) ->
     return ### obfuscated ### emailAddress

Great, I can now use <%- @obfuscate(mail) %> in my eco templates.

But, what I would like to do is something like this

docpadConfig:
   templateData: 
      emailAddresses:
         support: obfuscate("support@mycompany.com")

So I can write <%- @emailAddresses.support %>

I would also be ok with:

support: -> return obfuscate("support@mycompany.com")

So the question is: how can I make the obfuscate function available in that spot?

I've also tried to access it through docpadConfig.templateData.obfuscate() with no luck.

You are close! You can get the plugin templateData like this:

templateData:
    emailAddresses:
        support: -> docpad.pluginsTemplateData.obfuscate("some test")
