Compile and concatenate CoffeeScript files

gistfile1.md

The following is a simple bash script to search a directory heirarchy for CoffeeScript files, concatenate them and compile them into a single javascript file.

First recursively print the paths to all CoffeeScript files:

find -L . -name "*.coffee"

Then print their contents:

find -L . -name "*.coffee" -exec cat {} \;

Then pipe the concatenated coffeescript into the CoffeeScript compiler. The output will be sent to stdout:

find -L . -name "*.coffee" -exec cat {} \; | coffee -sc

Finally, redirect stdout to a file:

find -L . -name "*.coffee" -exec cat {} \; | coffee -sc > compiled.js
