  alert 'asd'
  

• http://localhost:5000/asd.coffee?js

  (function() {
    alert("awesome");
  }).call(this);
  

Installing

• Install Node.js

• Install it

   npm install coffee4clients
  

Using

• With Node.js in JavaScript

  // Include Coffee4Clients
  require('coffee-script');
  coffee4clients = require('coffee4clients');
  
  // Setup with your Express Server
  coffee4clients.createInstance({
  	server: null, // your express server (required)
  	publicPath: '...', // the full path to your server root (required)
  	missingAction: false, // the action to forward to when a file is not found
  	cache: false // whether the responses should be cached
  });
