CoffeeScript compilation for Windows

PM> Install-Package CoffeeSharp

Download binaries

If you can't use NuGet, just download the binaries in a zip file.

The download CoffeeSharp-0.6.zip contains the following:

• Coffee.exe Command line compiler, comparable to the node.js based coffee executable, but missing some options.
• CoffeeScriptHttpHandler.dll HttpHandler for use within an ASP.NET application.
  Configure as such:
  

  <httpHandlers>
    <add type="CoffeeSharp.CoffeeScriptHttpHandler, CoffeeScriptHttpHandler"
         verb="*" path="*.coffee" />
  </httpHandlers>
  

• CoffeeSharp.dll Class library, exports the CoffeeSharp.CoffeeScriptEngine class.
• Jurassic.dll Required external library for JavaScript evaluation.

Example: CoffeeSharp.dll

Here's an example of how to use the library:

var cse = new CoffeeSharp.CoffeeScriptEngine();
string js = cse.Compile("square = (x) -> x * x");

Example: Coffee.exe

Here's an example of how to use the commandline tool:

PS> cat .\src\test.coffee
square = (x) -> x * x
console.log 'two squared', square 2

PS> Coffee.exe -o .\bin -c .\src

PS> cat .\bin\test.js
(function() {
  var square;
  square = function(x) {
    return x * x;
  };
  console.log('two squared', square(2));
}).call(this);

Note: Use the --watch flag, to keep the compiler running in 'watch-mode'. This way, it will continue monitoring the source files for any changes, and recompile immediately when they're modified.
