Unexpected token ) with comments in functions

const dot = require('dot');

const string = `{{
      function heyo() {
          // this should crash
          console.log('hello');
      }
  }}`;

dot.template(string);

Could not create a template function: var out=''; function heyo() { // this should crash console.log('hello'); } return out;

			throw e;
			^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token )

I guess the problem is to know where the comment ends and where the code starts when everything gets on the same line.

Just thought I would share this for future reference.

Yeah, it´s a bit annoying and I think there isn't an easy solution, the workaround that I use is to
/* comment */ like this

Or disable option that strips the white space so the end of line is preserved. But in general, it’s better to use /**/ comments syntax
