How to compile CoffeeScript on save in VIM
Simple tip for VIM users doing CoffeeScript
- beck5 15y agoI guess a SASS version could also work?
- Emouri 15y agoCheck out the comments for something that might work (haven't tried it myself)
- arnklint 15y agoYes, it should be as easy as autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.coffee :silent !sass --update <afile>
- hagy 15y agocoffee-mode.el provides the same functionality for emacs. Automatic compilation of any *.coffee file on save can be enabled by (add-hook 'after-save-hook (lambda () (when (string-match "\.coffee$" (buffer-name)) (coffee-compile-file))))

- TrevorBurnham 15y agoThe CoffeeScript compiler is very fast (takes <100ms for a typical file), so this is a fairly good approach for most development. However, it's worth noting that there are other projects that let you stop thinking about compilation altogether. If you're developing for Rails or Python, for instance, you can just use a plugin. (And as of Rails 3.1, you don't even need one.) If you're just developing a static site, I like The Middleman (http://middlemanapp.com/ http://middlemanapp.com/), which does on-demand Haml, Sass/Less, and CoffeeScript compilation, then lets you bundle it all up (minified) for deployment with a single command.
