Sublime JS2Coffee

A quick way to convert Javascript to Coffeescript without leaving Sublime Text 2.

Installation

• Install node and npm (js2coffee requires these)
• Install js2coffee and coffee-script: npm install -g js2coffee coffee-script (the actual converter)
• Install the CoffeeScript Sublime Plugin for syntax highlighting

then, either

• Install Package Control if you don't already have it.
• cmd-shift-p Package Control: Install Package -> JS2Coffee

or

• Clone this repo into your Packages directory (Not Recommended: cloning will not allow you to update automatically).

Usage

cmd-shift-p JS2Coffee:

The syntax will be automatically set to CoffeeScript, and either the current file will be replaced with the CoffeeScript convertion, or a new file will be opened containing the conversion (depending on the command you used).

Bind a Key Combination

Note: Out of courtesy, there is no keyboard shortcut set by default.

In Packages/User/Default (your OS).sublime-keymap add one of the following lines:

• { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+j"], "command": "js_coffee", "args":{"new_file": true}}

or

• { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+j"], "command": "js_coffee", "args":{"new_file": false}}

Troubleshooting

If js2coffee outputs an error message it will show up in Sublime Text's console. There is not always useful context information in these messages, so YMMV.
