These are some scripts I hacked together to work with CoffeeScript.

This is a first draft. Your mileage may vary.

• You'll need Ruby 1.9.2. Using RVM is advised.

• You can make a submodule to this in your own project:

  git submodule add [email protected]:iain/coffee-machine.git vendor/coffee-machine
  git submodule update --init
  

• Create a file called Thorfile and add:

  load File.expand_path('../vendor/coffee-machine/thor.rb', __FILE__)
  

• Create a file called Gemfile and add the contents of the Gemfile in this repository.

• Install the dependencies:

  gem install bundler
  bundle install
  

Compiling is done according to naming conventions. This is not yet configurable.

Loose scripts are expected to be in src/myscript.coffee and are compiled to public/myscript.js.

Any coffee files in subdirectories and are concatinated. So src/mymodule/*.coffee are compiled into public/mymodule.js

To compile everything run:

thor coffee:compile

You can compile loose files too:

thor coffee:compile src/myfile.coffee

Start a watcher, to compile whenever you save a file:

thor coffee:watch

Using the AutoRefresh gem, everytime you change a file in the public directory, the browser will reload. You need to add some scripts to your page, so be sure to checkout the documentation.
