Cake

Cake is an enhanced version of cake and is 100% backwards-compatible (as of this writing).

jaskenas wants the cake in the coffee-script distribution to remain light and simple. Fair enough. Let there be Cake!

Enhancements Over cake

TODO section contains enhancements in the works.

• Asynchronous Tasks

    task 'generate', (options, done) ->
        generateCoffeeScript 'src/', done
  

• Task Dependencies (async aware)

    task 'all', 'Run all tasks', ['clean', 'generate', 'test']
  

• Multi-target Invoke. Serially calls each task (async aware)

    invoke 'task1', 'task2', 'taskn', ->
        doStuff()
