coffee-import

coffee-import is a utility package to transpile ES6 import statements in CoffeeScript files before they're passed to the CoffeeScript compiler.

Installation

npm install coffee-import --save-dev

How it works

CoffeeScript lacks native support for ES6 import syntax:

import * as MyModule from 'a-package';
import { SomeModule } from 'neat-package';
import SomeDefaultModule from 'other-package';

# error: reserved word 'import'

coffee-import transpiles those import statements into the equivalent block of CommonJS requires, giving you succinct syntax while keeping the CoffeeScript compiler happy.

import * as MyModule from 'a-package';
import { SomeModule } from 'neat-package';
import SomeDefaultModule from 'other-package';

# transpiled

MyModule = require('a-package')
SomeModule = require('neat-package').SomeModule
SomeDefaultModule = require('other-package')

Usage

var coffee = require('coffee-script');
var coffeeImport = require('coffee-import');

var transpiled = coffeeImport(fs.readFileSync('some-file.coffee').toString());
var compiled = coffee.compile(transpiled);
