coffee & jade preprocessor for titaniums alloy-framework
lazy-alloy
lazy-alloy
is a CoffeeScript & Jade preprocessor for Titanium Alloy Framework.
##What does it do?
It makes you write a tiny bit less code. Perhaps also a bit more readable (¿¿¿) code as well.
Compile from sourcefile | To alloy readable output |
---|---|
src/controllers/{{name}}.coffee |
app/controllers/{{name}}.js |
src/styles/{{name}}.coffee |
app/styles/{{name}}.tss |
src/views/{{name}}.jade |
app/views/{{name}}.xml |
src/models/{{name}}.coffee |
app/models/{{name}}.js |
src/lib/{{name}}.coffee |
app/lib/{{name}}.js |
Also, it will compile your widgets from src/widgets stored in the following directories.
From | To |
---|---|
src/widgets/{{name}}/controllers/*.coffee |
app/widgets/{{name}}/controllers/*.js |
src/widgets/{{name}}/styles/*.coffee |
app/widgets/{{name}}/styles/*.tss |
src/widgets/{{name}}/views/*.jade |
app/widgets/{{name}}/views/*.xml |
Inspired by coffee-alloy but eventually grew out of its box. Feel free to improve.
Usage
Dependencies
- nodejs
- npm
- titanium (cli)
- alloy
- brain (optional)
Installation
- Install Titanium Alloy Framework.
-
npm install -g lazy-alloy
Note regarding the *.coffee –> *.tss conversion
The files need to be valid coffee-script objects; thus the first line of these files needs to be a variable assignment like the following
tss =
".container":
backgroundColor: "red"
"Label":
width: Ti.UI.SIZE
height: Ti.UI.SIZE
color: "#fff"
Its output will look like this:
".container": {
backgroundColor: "red"
},
"Label": {
width: Ti.UI.SIZE,
height: Ti.UI.SIZE,
color: "#fff"
}
Perhaps something like stylus would be a better fit for this kind of job. Feel free to help us improve this section!
