Usage

It's a bit lame on the features at the moment, but here they are...

  • Typing CoffeeScript in the editor panel (left) compiles to JavaScript directly in the right panel
  • Press ctrl + i to inject from the editor pane into the active tab
  • Syntax highlighting (via CodeMirror)

Install

Download the latest version here (It's the *.crx files you're after).

Or just install it as an unpacked extension, the details to do that are here

To build

To build just run the following from the base directory, which will create you the .crx extension to install into chrome

./build.sh

Future features

  • Show responses to commands injected simular to Chromes console panel.
  • History support
  • Can we pass forward all the $0, copy() etc... commands???
  • Implement js2coffee for reverse compile

Contributing

The project uses the branching model outlined here, so basically do any commits on the develop branch. There's also a tool called gitflow which helps with this branching model. Also note you'll have to run the following to compile the coffeescript during development

coffee --watch -c js
