# Sublime JS2Coffee
A quick way to convert Javascript to Coffeescript without leaving Sublime Text 3.


## Installation

* Install [node](http://nodejs.org/) and [npm](https://npmjs.org/) (js2coffee requires these)
* Install [js2coffee](https://github.com/rstacruz/js2coffee) and [coffee-script](https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script): `npm install -g js2coffee coffee-script` (the actual converter)
* Install the [CoffeeScript Sublime Plugin](https://github.com/Xavura/CoffeeScript-Sublime-Plugin) for syntax highlighting

then, either

* Install [Package Control](http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control) if you don't already have it.
* `cmd-shift-p` Package Control: Install Package -> JS2Coffee

or

* Clone this repo into your `Packages` directory (**Not Recommended:** cloning will not allow you to update automatically).


## Usage
 
`cmd-shift-p` JS2Coffee:

The syntax will be automatically set to CoffeeScript, and either the current file will be replaced with the CoffeeScript convertion, or a new file will be opened containing the conversion (depending on the command you used).

## Settings
``` json
{
  "js2coffee_path": "/usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/bin/js2coffee",
  "coffee_syntax_path": "Packages/Better CoffeeScript/CoffeeScript.tmLanguage"
}
```

## Bind a Key Combination
**Note:** Out of courtesy, there is no keyboard shortcut set by default.

In `Packages/User/Default (`your OS`).sublime-keymap` add one of the following lines:

* `{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+j"], "command": "js_coffee", "args":{"new_file": true}}`

or

* `{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+j"], "command": "js_coffee", "args":{"new_file": false}}`


## Troubleshooting

If `js2coffee` outputs an error message it will show up in Sublime Text's console. There is not always useful context information in these messages, so YMMV.
