Compile CoffeeScript on Save?

Question

Is there anyway to easily compile CoffeeScript on save? I\'m using TextMate or Sublime Text 2.

Answer 1

Well coffee --watch has 2 major flaws:

• New files created after command has been issued aren't being watched
• Requires manual initiation so there can be a chance you forget to do it, which doesn't sound more brilliant than forget to compile before you git commit it

The solution I came up with is a rather simple Bash script that takes coffee --watch a few steps further which will allow your working directory tree to be watched ever since system login, and automatically get compiled into JavaScript on each file save/change or new file creation:

There may be more elegant way to do this, but this implementation works great =)
