command.coffee
¶

The coffee utility. Handles command-line compilation of CoffeeScript into various forms: saved into .js files or printed to stdout or recompiled every time the source is saved, printed as a token stream or as the syntax tree, or launch an interactive REPL.

Write out a JavaScript source file with the compiled code. By default, files are written out in cwd as .js files with the same name, but the output directory can be customized with --output.

If generatedSourceMap is provided, this will write a .js.map file into the same directory as the .js file.

writeJs = (base, sourcePath, js, jsPath, generatedSourceMap = null) ->
  sourceMapPath = outputPath sourcePath, base, ".js.map"
  jsDir  = path.dirname jsPath
  compile = ->
    if opts.compile

      if generatedSourceMap then js = "#{js}\n//# sourceMappingURL=#{helpers.baseFileName sourceMapPath, no, useWinPathSep}\n"
      fs.writeFile jsPath, js, (err) ->
        if err
          printLine err.message
          process.exit 1
        else if opts.compile and opts.watch
          timeLog "compiled #{sourcePath}"
    if generatedSourceMap
      fs.writeFile sourceMapPath, generatedSourceMap, (err) ->
        if err
          printLine "Could not write source map: #{err.message}"
          process.exit 1
  fs.exists jsDir, (itExists) ->
    if itExists then compile() else mkdirp jsDir, compile

Convenience for cleaner setTimeouts.

wait = (milliseconds, func) -> setTimeout func, milliseconds

When watching scripts, it’s useful to log changes with the timestamp.

timeLog = (message) ->
  console.log "#{(new Date).toLocaleTimeString()} - #{message}"

Pretty-print a stream of tokens, sans location data.

printTokens = (tokens) ->
  strings = for token in tokens
    tag = token[0]
    value = token[1].toString().replace(/\n/, '\\n')
    "[#{tag} #{value}]"
  printLine strings.join(' ')

Use the OptionParser module to extract all options from process.argv that are specified in SWITCHES.

parseOptions = ->
  o = opts      = optionParser.parse process.argv[2..]
  o.compile     or=  !!o.output
  o.run         = not (o.compile or o.print or o.map)
  o.print       = !!  (o.print or (o.eval or o.stdio and o.compile))

The compile-time options to pass to the CoffeeScript compiler.
```
compileOptions = (filename, base) ->
  if opts.transpile
```

The user has requested that the CoffeeScript compiler also transpile via Babel. We use Babel as an optionalDependency; see https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#optionaldependencies.

    try
      require 'babel-core'
    catch
      console.error '''
        To use --transpile, you must have Babel installed and configured.
        See http://coffeescript.org/#transpilation
      '''
      process.exit 1

¶

We’re giving Babel only a string, not a filename or path to a file, so it doesn’t know where to search to find a .babelrc file or a babel key in a package.json. So if opts.transpile is an object, use that as Babel’s options; otherwise figure out what the options should be.
```
    unless typeof opts.transpile is 'object'
```

Find the options based on the path to the file being compiled.

      cantFindOptions = ->
        console.error '''
          To use the transpile option, there must be a .babelrc file
          (or a package.json file with a "babel" key) in the path of the file

          If you are compiling a string via the Node API, the transpile option
          must be an object with the options to pass to Babel.

Pass a reference to Babel into the compiler, so that the transpile option is available for the CLI. We need to do this so that tools like Webpack can require('coffeescript') and build correctly, without trying to require Babel.
