CoffeeScript plugin was originally created by @Xavura. As I began writing a lot of code in CoffeeScript I felt the need for side-by-side view for compiled CoffeeScript. Since Xavura's repo have been inactive I decided to branch out my own version. The biggest change in my branch is the Watch Mode which updates the compiled JavaScript view whenever you modify the CoffeeScript thus enabling you to view your progress side-by-side.
I use this plugin everyday so whenever I am not developing I am in testing stage. I'll make sure every request or bug will be patched since I'm a frequent user.
- Please use aponxi/issues page to make requests or report bugs.
- Please make pull requests to develop branch.
- It would be best to keep the wiki on SublimeText repository's wiki.
This is the recommended installation method.
If you have Sublime Package Control, you know what to do. If not, well: it's a package manager for Sublime Text 2; it's awesome and you can read about it here.
To install Package Control, open the Python Console (ctrl+' or cmd+` ) and paste the following into it:
import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp=sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs(ipp) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener(urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler())); open(os.path.join(ipp,pf),'wb').write(urllib2.urlopen('http://sublime.wbond.net/'+pf.replace(' ','%20')).read()); print 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation'
After installing the package and restarting the editor:
- Open the Command Pallete (
ctrl+shift+Porcmd+shift+P). - Type "Install Package" and hit return.
- Type "sublime-better-coffeescript" and hit return.
If you plan to contribute, then you should install via this method. Otherwise it is recommended that you install the package via Package Control, see above.
Sublime stores packages in the following locations:
Nix: ~/.config/sublime-text-2/packages
Mac: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages
Win: %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 2\Packages
Open a Terminal/Console and run the following commands, replacing PACKAGE_PATH with the path corresponding to your OS above.
cd PACKAGE_PATH
git clone https://github.com/aponxi/sublime-better-coffeescript.git "sublime-better-coffeescript"
If you use Github for Mac/Windows which store repositories in a specific location, or if you just don't want a repository in your packages directory, then instead you can use a link.
If you don't yet have the repository, then grab it via your GUI program or via the command line:
cd WHEREVER_YOU_WANT
git clone https://github.com/aponxi/sublime-better-coffeescript.git
Once that is done, we will create the link:
cd PACKAGE_PATH
mklink /D sublime-better-coffeescript ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_REPOSITORY
cd PACKAGE_PATH
ln -s ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_REPOSITORY sublime-better-coffeescript
When Package Control tries to update your packages, if you have a repository in your packages directory then it will try to pull down and merge any changes. If you don't want this to happen and would rather handle everything yourself, then you can add the following to your settings (Preferences » Package Settings » Package Control » Settings - User):
"auto_upgrade_ignore": ["sublime-better-coffeescript"]
If you are using Package Control, updating will be automatic and you don't have to worry about it.
If using Source Control:
cd PACKAGE_PATH/CoffeeScript
git fetch origin
git merge origin/master
You can access the commands either using the command palette (ctrl+shift+P or cmd+shift+P) or via shortcuts.
alt+shift+t - Run a Cake task
alt+shift+r - Run some CoffeeScript (puts/print is available for output)
alt+shift+s - Run a syntax check
alt+shift+c - Compile a file
alt+shift+d - Display compiled JavaScript
alt+shift+l - Display lexer tokens
alt+shift+n - Display parser nodes
alt+shift+w - Toggle watch mode
alt+shift+p - Toggle output panel
Context menu has Compile Output that compiles the current CoffeeScript and outputs the javascript code that is run, in a panel.
Note: Some of the commands use the Status Bar for output, so you'll probably want to enable it (Tools » Show Status Bar).
- Use
TABto run a snippet after typing the trigger. - Use
TABandshift+TABto cycle forward/backward through fields. - Use
ESCto exit snippet mode.

When using the build system, it is assumed that your
.sublime-projectfile lives in your project's base directory (due to limitations with the build system).
Hitting F7 (Tools » Build) will run the Cake task 'sbuild'.
If you're not quite sure what the point of this is then read on.
Let's say before distributing your project that you would like to combine all of your .js files into one and then minify them them using UglifyJS or something.
That's what this is for! You would create a Cakefile and inside it you would write a task:
task 'sbuild', 'Prepare project for distribution.', ->
# ...

#### Description
if it is a string like 'some/directory' then `-o some/directory` will be added to `coffee` compiler.
if it is false or not string then it will compile your `script.coffee` to the directory it is in.
#### Example:
Directory is relative to the file you are editting if specified such as
compileDir": "out"
Directory is absolute if specified such as
compileDir": "/home/logan/Desktop/out"

}- with help of @idpsycho fixed #14 once more.
- added alert message on compile failed which also works with compile on save
- hotfixed default compile dir to be
false
- added compileDir option which specifies
coffee -oarg when compiling. - Fixed settings file name. It was Coffeescript when it should have been CoffeeScript. Fixes #19
- compileDir path works only if it exists.
- now also works if it doesn't exist.
- changed default compileDir option to false thus compiling a coffee script to the same directory as default.
- Updated package.json, bumped up version.
- Added utf-8 encode/decode to prevent unicode decode errors, fixed #17
- Corrected years in 0.6 changelog... Should get used to it by now.
- Added error output in panel which fixes #16
- Changed menu name to "Better Coffeescript"
- Changed menu arguments to be directed to
sublime-better-coffeescriptfolders, settings files are still kept asCoffeescript.sublime-settings - Fixed lint errors
- if delay is lower than < 0.5 then we are saying that minimum delay should be 0.5
- added a method that gets the input's filename with .js extension
- setting the output view's name as filename.js fixes #13
- added compileOnSave option fixes #14
- updated readme fixes #6
- added compile output class
- added compile_output command, it displays the console.logs and what not in a panel
- added compile_output command to the context menu (right click). This only works for coffeescripts.
- Added that it existed in README.
- Added option for showOutputOnSave
- Need a way of telling if output is open or closed/hidden #15
