grunt-contrib-coffee v2.1.0
Compile CoffeeScript files to JavaScript
Getting Started
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-contrib-coffee --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-coffee');
This plugin was designed to work with Grunt >= 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade, but in case you can't please use v0.3.2.
Coffee task
Run this task with the grunt coffee
command.
Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.
Options
separator
Type: String
Default: linefeed
Concatenated files will be joined on this string.
bare
Type: Boolean
Compile the JavaScript without the top-level function safety wrapper.
join
Type: Boolean
Default: false
When compiling multiple .coffee files into a single .js file, concatenate first.
sourceMap
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Compile JavaScript and create a .map file linking it to the CoffeeScript source. When compiling multiple .coffee files to a single .js file, concatenation occurs as though the 'join' option is enabled
sourceMapDir
Type: String
Default: (same path as your compiled js files)
Generated source map files will be created here.
joinExt
Type: String
Default: '.src.coffee'
Resulting extension when joining multiple CoffeeScript files.
Usage Examples
coffee: {
compile: {
files: {
'path/to/result.js': 'path/to/source.coffee', // 1:1 compile
'path/to/another.js': ['path/to/sources/*.coffee', 'path/to/more/*.coffee'] // compile and concat into single file
}
},
compileBare: {
options: {
bare: true
},
files: {
'path/to/result.js': 'path/to/source.coffee', // 1:1 compile
'path/to/another.js': ['path/to/sources/*.coffee', 'path/to/more/*.coffee'] // compile and concat into single file
}
},
compileJoined: {
options: {
join: true
},
files: {
'path/to/result.js': 'path/to/source.coffee', // 1:1 compile, identical output to join = false
'path/to/another.js': ['path/to/sources/*.coffee', 'path/to/more/*.coffee'] // concat then compile into single file
}
},
compileWithMaps: {
options: {
sourceMap: true
},
files: {
'path/to/result.js': 'path/to/source.coffee', // 1:1 compile
'path/to/another.js': ['path/to/sources/*.coffee', 'path/to/more/*.coffee'] // concat then compile into single file
}
},
compileWithMapsDir: {
options: {
sourceMap: true,
sourceMapDir: 'path/to/maps/' // source map files will be created here
},
files: {
'path/to/result.js': 'path/to/source.coffee'
}
},
glob_to_multiple: {
expand: true,
flatten: true,
cwd: 'path/to',
src: ['*.coffee'],
dest: 'path/to/dest/',
ext: '.js'
}
}
For more examples on how to use the expand
API to manipulate the default dynamic path construction in the glob_to_multiple
examples, see "Building the files object dynamically" in the grunt wiki entry Configuring Tasks.
