Milkee

A simple CoffeeScript build tool with coffee.config.cjs

How to get started

Install

Install Milkee:

# global installation
npm i -g milkee

# or local installation
npm i -D milkee

CoffeeScript & @babel/core are required.

[!TIP] @babel/core is required if options.transpile is true .

# global installation
npm i -g coffeescript @babel/core

# or local installation
npm i -D coffeescript @babel/core

Setup

Run -s (--setup) command, generate coffee.config.cjs!

# global
milkee -s

# or local
npx milkee -s

coffee.config.cjs

/** @type {import('@milkee/d').Config} */

module.exports = {
  // The entry point for compilation.
  // This can be a single file or a directory (e.g., 'src/' or 'src/app.coffee').
  entry: 'src',
  // The output for the compiled JavaScript files.
  // If 'options.join' is true, this should be a single file path (e.g., 'dist/app.js').
  // If 'options.join' is false, this should be a directory (e.g., 'dist').
  output: 'dist',
  // (Optional) Additional options for the CoffeeScript compiler.
  // See `coffee --help` for all available options.
  // Web: https://coffeescript.org/annotated-source/command.html
  options: {
    // The following options are supported:
    // bare: false,
    // join: false,
    // map: false,
    // inlineMap: false,
    // noHeader: false,
    // transpile: false,
    // literate: false,
    // watch: false,
  },
  // (Optional) Additional options/plugins for the Milkee builder.
  milkee: {
    options: {
      // Before compiling, reset the directory.
      // refresh: false,
      // Before compiling, confirm "Do you want to Continue?"
      // confirm: false,
    },
    plugins: []
  },
};

options (CoffeeScript Compiler Options)

These options are passed directly to the coffee compiler.

CoffeeScript - command.coffee

milkee.options (Milkee Specific Options)

These options control Milkee's behavior.

milkee.plugins (Milkee Specific Plugins)

You can extend Milkee's functionality by using plugins. Plugins are simple functions that run after each successful compilation, giving you access to the compiled files and configuration.

Example:

const myPlugin = require('./plugins/my-plugin.js');

module.exports = {
  // ...
  milkee: {
    plugins: [
      // This call returns the PluginExecutor
      myPlugin({ option: 'value' }),
      // ...
    ]
  }
}

Compile

Milkee will automatically read coffee.config.cjs, assemble the command from your options, and start compilation!

# global
milkee

# or local
npx milkee
