Compiler

With this you can create files on fly or compile coffee to javascript files. The word can multiple meanings:

• Compile ja(h) - like we say in my country to "Compile now"

First intended to my own projects, but it help me to compile multiple coffee-script sources in javascript files.

Install

  $ npm install jah-compiler

Usage

Thought to be used in Cakefiles, jah-compiler see for files in src/ folder; these files, at this momoment, must have .coffee files; this module use coffee-script-redux to do the compilation process, and specfolder to parse a mapping the filenames in src/ folder:

The code is very simple, call jah-compiler with a callback that shows the generated javascript data:

compile = require 'jah-compiler'
 
task 'build', 'rebuild the custom src files in src/ folder', (options) ->
    compile (javascriptdata) ->
        console.log javascriptdata
        console.log "DONE"

• ./src/somefile.coffee => ./lib/somefile.js
• ./src/somefile.test.coffee => ./test/somefile.js
• ./src/somefile.examples.coffee => ./examples/somefile.js
• ./src/somefile.somefolder.another.coffee => ./somefolder/another/somefile.js

Test and build

Clone the project and run tests:

  $ git clone https://github.com/jahpd/compiler.git
  $ npm test

you will see this:

  { src: 'src/compiler.coffee', dest: 'lib/compiler.js' }
  { src: 'src/compiler.test.coffee', dest: 'test/compiler.js' }
  { src: 'src/g.test.coffee', dest: 'test/g.js' }
  DONE
