Coffee script compilation

Question

I\'m looking for simplest possible way to automatically recompile coffee scripts into JS.

Reading documentation but still having troubles to get exactly what I want.

Answer 1

Try jitter

https://github.com/TrevorBurnham/jitter

It watches a directory of .coffee files, and when it detects that a file has changed it automatically recompiles it to .js

jitter /path/to/coffee/dir /path/to/js/dir

I've been trying it out with a project using coffescript and sencha touch, it seems to work pretty well. Doesn't take care of the concatenation problem, but it's really simple to use for someone who just needs auto-compilation.
