Generate a single JavaScript asset about coffeescriptredux HOT 7 OPEN

I've also been wondering about this and looking through the code for answers. Even though the docs say that "it's not recommended for serious use", the <script type="text/coffeescript"> feature of the original compiler is a lifesaver during development, especially when using a web host with no server side JS capabilities.

I'm also wondering about this (I'd like to get a browser version of coffee2ls running) - but as well, this seems necessary if replacing CS 1.x is desired.

I suggest using node-browserify to generate single file.
In esmangle project, we generate it by using browserify.

I managed to use browserify to create a single file. I had to manually edit the original coffeescript in a few places and I had to rip out amdrequire stuff, which I think comes in from source-map.

Anyway, here it is: https://gist.github.com/4005706

I managed to get a simple script ("four = 2 + 2") to parse, compile, and output as javascript and source map. I didn't check that the source map was valid.

I'm not a javascript person, so I felt like a dog at the keyboard for most of this process. Hopefully this is helpful.

Browserify is working pretty well for me. I only have two issues: I can't get it to automatically export CoffeeScript (probably an option I'm missing), and I can't get it to automatically ignore /lib/coffee-script/run.js, which is needed to ignore the unsupported native module module. Currently, building the browser version requires manually deleting the require('./run') line in /lib/coffee-script/module.js and manually adding var CoffeeScript = ... to the output. I'm working on fixing these minor issues.

In Esmangle, creating entry point JavaScript file tools/entry.js and doing browserify tools/entry.js.

And because node-detective uses esprima and static analysis, we can remove dependency to some file by writing

runModule = './run'
require runModule
