Coderetreat Javascript Skeleton

This meant to be a ready-to-use environment for a paring session during a Coderetreat, using JavaScript and/or CoffeeScript with Jasmine.

Prerequisites

• Qt for jasmine-headless-webkit brew install qt --build-from-source (takes an hour or so to build)

Setup

Install the gem dependencies with:

bundle install

And then start Guard:

bundle exec guard

Using with CoffeeScript

When it compiles to JavaScript, all CoffeeScript is wrapped in an anonymous function. Therefore, in order for a class to be accessible by the Jasmine spec, it needs to be attached to the global window object. For example:

spec/CellSpec.coffee

describe "Cell", ->
  cell = new Cell()
  
  it "does stuff", ->
    expect(cell.does()).toEqual('stuff')

lib/Cell.coffee

class Cell
  does: ->
    'stuff'

window.Cell = Cell
