## Server Files in Coffee-Script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to create application files in coffee-script, you'll need to register the coffee-script extension:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
require('coffee-script/register');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll need to do this at any entry points for the app (e.g. the server.js file, mocha.opts, and gulp/grunt). It is recommended to leave the entry point of the app (server.js by default, specified as 'main' in package.json) as a javascript file, and then register coffee-script, and proceed with any coffee-requires.
|
||
|
|
|

## Client Files in Coffee-Script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use the Coffeeify module to include Coffee files in your browser package. Use a build script like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
// assuming you haven't done so already
|
||
|
|
require('coffee-script/register');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var b = browserify({
|
||
|
|
basedir: appDir,
|
||
|
|
extensions: ['.coffee'], //causes browserify to look for this extension
|
||
|
|
debug: true
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b.transform('coffeeify'); //adds coffee compiler to the build pipeline
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b.require('./app.coffee', { expose: 'browser-app' }); //requiring your file will set the entry point
|
||
|
|
boot.compileToBrowserify(appDir, b);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var bundlePath = sandbox.resolve('browser-app-bundle.js'); //remember, the final result is still '.js'
|
||
|
|
var out = fs.createWriteStream(bundlePath);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b.bundle().pipe(out);
|
||
|
|
```
