- Now we will detect what javascript engine user is using and based on
that we will generate either `.js` or `.coffee` version of the channel
file.
- This also needs a change in coffee-rails to override the `js_template`
method. Related PR https://github.com/rails/coffee-rails/pull/72.
- Currently coffee-rails gem sets
`config.app_generators.javascript_engine` to `:coffee` and using this
information we override the `js_template` to set the extension as
`.coffee` in coffee-rails gem.
- Using this approach, we can keep the `channel.js` and `channel.coffee`
files in the Rails repository itself.
- Additionally the `js_template` method can act as public interface for
coffee-rails gem to hook into and change the extension to `.coffee`
without maintaining the actual asset files.
