Cakefile Template

If you write a lot of coffeescript and get tired of setting up your build, watch and spec tasks, grab this Cakefile and put it in your project.

Install

# In your project directory...
curl https://raw.github.com/twilson63/cakefile-template/master/Cakefile >> Cakefile
## If that does not work... try
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twilson63/cakefile-template/master/Cakefile >> Cakefile

Usage

Compiling

Put all of your coffee-script in the src folder, it will compile all coffee-script in your lib folder, using the build command.

cake build

Watching

If you want to compile as you write your code, invoke the watch command.

cake watch

Testing

If you want to run your tests, assuming you are using mocha.

cake test

Documenting

cake docs

Options

If you want to generate HTML5 maps when compiling (watching), add 'm' before compile or watch:

cake -m compile

clean will also take care of mapping files.

More information about mapping can be found on HTML5rocks or Coffeescript.org.

Have Fun!
