Coffeescript Express

This is a port of the default express project template, with all javascript files converted to coffeescript, for those who prefer to use coffeescript as their primary language.

This express 'starter kit' also provides asset management via connect-assets, which allows coffeescript-to-js conversion of client-side code, as well as support for less/stylus stylesheet generation.

Requirements

You need to have the following in order to run this setup (the last tested versions are marked in parentheses):

  • Node.js (0.10.17)
  • Express (Global install) (3.3.5)
  • Coffeescript (Global install) (1.6.3)
  • connect-assets (2.5.2)

Usage

cloning the repository, run the following:

git clone https://github.com/iddar/coffeescript-express.git

npm install -g coffee-script express
npm install

coffee app.coffee
or
npm start
or
nodemon app.coffee (recommend for develop time. require `npm install -g nodemon` )

this will start up your express coffeescript app, and you're ready to go.
