command.coffee
¶

The coffee utility. Handles command-line compilation of CoffeeScript into various forms: saved into .js files or printed to stdout or recompiled every time the source is saved, printed as a token stream or as the syntax tree, or launch an interactive REPL.

External dependencies.

Run coffee by parsing passed options and determining what action to take. Many flags cause us to divert before compiling anything. Flags passed after -- will be passed verbatim to your script as arguments in process.argv
```

Make the REPL CLI use the global context so as to (a) be consistent with the node REPL CLI and, therefore, (b) make packages that modify native prototypes (such as ‘colors’ and ‘sugar’) work as expected.

  replCliOpts = useGlobal: yes
  return forkNode()                             if opts.nodejs

    compilePath source, yes, source

Compile a path, which could be a script or a directory. If a directory is passed, recursively compile all ‘.coffee’, ‘.litcoffee’, and ‘.coffee.md’ extension source files in it and all subdirectories.

compilePath = (source, topLevel, base) ->

    catch err
      throw err unless err.code is 'ENOENT'
  console.error "Missing index.coffee or index.litcoffee in #{source}"
  process.exit 1

Compile a single source script, containing the given code, according to the requested options. If evaluating the script directly sets __filename, __dirname and module.filename to be correct relative to the script’s path.

compileScript = (file, input, base = null) ->
  o = opts
  options = compileOptions file, base
  try
    t = task = {file, input, options}
    CoffeeScript.emit 'compile', task
    if o.tokens
      printTokens CoffeeScript.tokens t.input, t.options
    else if o.nodes
      printLine CoffeeScript.nodes(t.input, t.options).toString().trim()
    else if o.run
      CoffeeScript.register()
      CoffeeScript.run t.input, t.options
    else if o.join and t.file isnt o.join
      t.input = helpers.invertLiterate t.input if helpers.isLiterate file
      sourceCode[sources.indexOf(t.file)] = t.input
      compileJoin()
    else
      compiled = CoffeeScript.compile t.input, t.options
      t.output = compiled
      if o.map
        t.output = compiled.js
        t.sourceMap = compiled.v3SourceMap

      CoffeeScript.emit 'success', task
      if o.print
        printLine t.output.trim()
      else if o.compile or o.map
        writeJs base, t.file, t.output, options.jsPath, t.sourceMap
  catch err
    CoffeeScript.emit 'failure', err, task
    return if CoffeeScript.listeners('failure').length
    message = err.stack or "#{err}"
    if o.watch
      printLine message + '\x07'
    else
      printWarn message
      process.exit 1

Attach the appropriate listeners to compile scripts incoming over stdin, and write them back to stdout.

compileStdio = ->
  code = ''
  stdin = process.openStdin()
  stdin.on 'data', (buffer) ->
    code += buffer.toString() if buffer
  stdin.on 'end', ->
    compileScript null, code

If all of the source files are done being read, concatenate and compile them together.

joinTimeout = null
compileJoin = ->
  return unless opts.join
  unless sourceCode.some((code) -> code is null)
    clearTimeout joinTimeout
    joinTimeout = wait 100, ->
      compileScript opts.join, sourceCode.join('\n'), opts.join

Watch a source CoffeeScript file using fs.watch, recompiling it every time the file is updated. May be used in combination with other options, such as --print.

watch = (source, base) ->
  watcher        = null
  prevStats      = null
  compileTimeout = null

  watchErr = (err) ->
    throw err unless err.code is 'ENOENT'
    return unless source in sources
    try
      rewatch()
      compile()
    catch
      removeSource source, base
      compileJoin()

  compile = ->
    clearTimeout compileTimeout
    compileTimeout = wait 25, ->
      fs.stat source, (err, stats) ->
        return watchErr err if err
        return rewatch() if prevStats and
                            stats.size is prevStats.size and
                            stats.mtime.getTime() is prevStats.mtime.getTime()
        prevStats = stats
        fs.readFile source, (err, code) ->
          return watchErr err if err
          compileScript(source, code.toString(), base)
          rewatch()

  startWatcher = ->
    watcher = fs.watch source
    .on 'change', compile
    .on 'error', (err) ->
      throw err unless err.code is 'EPERM'
      removeSource source, base

  rewatch = ->
    watcher?.close()
    startWatcher()

  try
    startWatcher()
  catch err
    watchErr err

Watch a directory of files for new additions.

watchDir = (source, base) ->
  watcher        = null
  readdirTimeout = null

  startWatcher = ->
    watcher = fs.watch source
    .on 'error', (err) ->
      throw err unless err.code is 'EPERM'
      stopWatcher()
    .on 'change', ->
      clearTimeout readdirTimeout
      readdirTimeout = wait 25, ->
        try
          files = fs.readdirSync source
        catch err
          throw err unless err.code is 'ENOENT'
          return stopWatcher()
        for file in files
          compilePath (path.join source, file), no, base

  stopWatcher = ->
    watcher.close()
    removeSourceDir source, base

  watchedDirs[source] = yes
  try
    startWatcher()
  catch err
    throw err unless err.code is 'ENOENT'

removeSourceDir = (source, base) ->
  delete watchedDirs[source]
  sourcesChanged = no
  for file in sources when source is path.dirname file
    removeSource file, base
    sourcesChanged = yes
  compileJoin() if sourcesChanged

Remove a file from our source list, and source code cache. Optionally remove the compiled JS version as well.

removeSource = (source, base) ->
  index = sources.indexOf source
  sources.splice index, 1
  sourceCode.splice index, 1
  unless opts.join
    silentUnlink outputPath source, base
    silentUnlink outputPath source, base, '.map'
    timeLog "removed #{source}"

silentUnlink = (path) ->
  try
    fs.unlinkSync path
  catch err
    throw err unless err.code in ['ENOENT', 'EPERM']

Get the corresponding output JavaScript path for a source file.

outputPath = (source, base, extension=".js") ->
  basename  = helpers.baseFileName source, yes, useWinPathSep
  srcDir    = path.dirname source
  if not opts.output
    dir = srcDir
  else if source is base
    dir = opts.output
  else
    dir = path.join opts.output, path.relative base, srcDir
  path.join dir, basename + extension

Write out a JavaScript source file with the compiled code. By default, files are written out in cwd as .js files with the same name, but the output directory can be customized with --output.

If generatedSourceMap is provided, this will write a .map file into the same directory as the .js file.

writeJs = (base, sourcePath, js, jsPath, generatedSourceMap = null) ->
  sourceMapPath = outputPath sourcePath, base, ".map"
  jsDir  = path.dirname jsPath
  compile = ->
    if opts.compile
      js = ' ' if js.length <= 0
      if generatedSourceMap then js = "#{js}\n//# sourceMappingURL=#{helpers.baseFileName sourceMapPath, no, useWinPathSep}\n"
      fs.writeFile jsPath, js, (err) ->
        if err
          printLine err.message
        else if opts.compile and opts.watch
          timeLog "compiled #{sourcePath}"
    if generatedSourceMap
      fs.writeFile sourceMapPath, generatedSourceMap, (err) ->
        if err
          printLine "Could not write source map: #{err.message}"
  fs.exists jsDir, (itExists) ->
    if itExists then compile() else mkdirp jsDir, compile

Convenience for cleaner setTimeouts.

wait = (milliseconds, func) -> setTimeout func, milliseconds

When watching scripts, it’s useful to log changes with the timestamp.

timeLog = (message) ->
  console.log "#{(new Date).toLocaleTimeString()} - #{message}"

Pretty-print a stream of tokens, sans location data.

printTokens = (tokens) ->
  strings = for token in tokens
    tag = token[0]
    value = token[1].toString().replace(/\n/, '\\n')
    "[#{tag} #{value}]"
  printLine strings.join(' ')

Use the OptionParser module to extract all options from process.argv that are specified in SWITCHES.

parseOptions = ->
  optionParser  = new optparse.OptionParser SWITCHES, BANNER
  o = opts      = optionParser.parse process.argv[2..]
  o.compile     or=  !!o.output
  o.run         = not (o.compile or o.print or o.map)
  o.print       = !!  (o.print or (o.eval or o.stdio and o.compile))

The compile-time options to pass to the CoffeeScript compiler.

compileOptions = (filename, base) ->
  answer = {
    filename
    literate: opts.literate or helpers.isLiterate(filename)
    bare: opts.bare
    header: opts.compile and not opts['no-header']
    sourceMap: opts.map
  }
  if filename
    if base
      cwd = process.cwd()
      jsPath = outputPath filename, base
      jsDir = path.dirname jsPath
      answer = helpers.merge answer, {
        jsPath
        sourceRoot: path.relative jsDir, cwd
        sourceFiles: [path.relative cwd, filename]
        generatedFile: helpers.baseFileName(jsPath, no, useWinPathSep)
      }
    else
      answer = helpers.merge answer,
        sourceRoot: ""
        sourceFiles: [helpers.baseFileName filename, no, useWinPathSep]
        generatedFile: helpers.baseFileName(filename, yes, useWinPathSep) + ".js"
  answer

Start up a new Node.js instance with the arguments in --nodejs passed to the node binary, preserving the other options.

forkNode = ->
  nodeArgs = opts.nodejs.split /\s+/
  args     = process.argv[1..]
  args.splice args.indexOf('--nodejs'), 2
  p = spawn process.execPath, nodeArgs.concat(args),
    cwd:        process.cwd()
    env:        process.env
    customFds:  [0, 1, 2]
  p.on 'exit', (code) -> process.exit code

Print the --help usage message and exit. Deprecated switches are not shown.

usage = ->
  printLine (new optparse.OptionParser SWITCHES, BANNER).help()

Print the --version message and exit.

version = ->
  printLine "CoffeeScript version #{CoffeeScript.VERSION}"
