coffeescript

[dudo]

My coding style:
I like braces and use them always, even for single-line if statements and the like.

Granted... but you did implement jade, so you can appreciate indented style. Any thoughts about handling coffeescript?

I love Jade because of how it takes away a lot of the HTML 'cruft' and I find Jade really easy to follow. I definitely see the analogy to coffeescript. I have looked at coffeescript several times. However for whatever reason I haven't had the same feelings for coffeescript. I "had to" pick one of the HTML templating tools and I happened to choose Jade but I haven't felt I had to use a tool like coffeescript. By keeping this in pure JS I feel it's maybe more accessible to a wider audience.

Long way of saying I guess I'm just not that familiar with coffescript.

Makes sense. I'll work on adding support for it, while keeping the system files in pure JS. We just have to add coffee-script as a dependency, and gulp-coffee to devdependencies. A little snippet, and maybe a linter, and users will be able to use coffeescript for their projects.

I'll holler when I have a PR ready.

Awesome - that would be really helpful. Maybe even encourage me to give it an honest try ;)

Hey Dan. I have a PR ready for the coffeescript integration. You wanna give me permission to push a branch?

I made the appropriate changes, but also converted 2 files to .coffee as working examples:

• user.coffee controller
• User.coffee model

I set $.coffee to compile to public/js... might consider tucking that away (compiled dir or something, then we can ignore it from linting?)

We can chat a bit after you take a look at it, and see it in action.

As far as I know I don't need to give permission - just open a pull request. That's how I have done it on other repos. Looking forward to checking it out!

Pushing to git@github.com:dstroot/skeleton.git

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I'm only pushing my coffee branch, too... not master. I can pull fine... just can't seem to push.

[dudo]

might have to add me as a collaborator in settings.

Have you tried opening a pull request? Generally contributors don't push, the owner pulls. At least thats how it's worked on other repos I have contributed to. You open a pull request with the changes in your fork. I review them and pull them in.

[dstroot]

You give up on me? ;)

[dudo]

Haha, no. I'm used to bitbucket, I guess. You just push a branch up, then submit the PR. I'll figure it out here soon... I've been playing a bit more with ReactJS lately. I'll get this pushed up tomorrow, though =)

Cheers!

React is damn cool - I played with it a bit too. It's just pretty "different" so you really have to commit to it I think rather than just dabble...
