I have installed nodejs, installed coffee using npm and registered the environment variables and am now ready to compile my CoffeeScript into JavaScript for the first time.
I am running the following command in c:\MyCoffeeScriptProject\
coffee --compile --output js/
What happens next is that I get the interactive window and nothing in the "js" folder.
coffee>
I was expecting all .coffee files to be compiled into the "js" folder as .js files.
You didn't tell it which files to compile.
Usage: coffee [options] path/to/script.coffee [args]
Append a single period to the end for the current directory.
coffee --compile --output js/ .
It's easier to read if you rearrange it though.
coffee --output js/ --compile .
compiles all coffee files in . to js/
A common usage pattern is to have a src folder.
coffee --output js/ --compile src/
c:/parent>coffee --output output --compile src
Where "output" is blank folder and "src" folder contains coffee files. Execute the command at level of src.
