Question

I’m taking over my co-worker’s coffee script project. He coded all the classes in one single coffee script file.

I like to separate all the classes into their own files. I found out that I can separate files then export the class to ‘window’ object. The problem with that method is that coffee script generates separate javascript files.

Is there a way to separate coffee script files then compile them into one single js file?

Answer 1

Yes. Coffescript compiler has a --join command exactly for this case.
You can do it like this:

coffee --join project.js --compile myCoffeeFolder/*.coffee
