Hexo: Can I access site.data when in a helper?

Created on 19 Jan 2018 · 3Comments · Source: hexojs/hexo

Say I have /scripts/blah.js:

/* global hexo */

hexo.extend.helper.register('someMethod', (arg1) => {
  // can I access site.data here?
})

Is there a way to access site.data in a script file, in particular within a helper method? Or do I need to pass site.data into the helper as an argument?

Helpers are called with the hexo context as this, so it would be:

hexo.extend.helper.register('someMethod', function (arg1) {
  console.log(this.site.data)
})

I didn't find some useful information about this in helper section of the document.
