Rehab helps you deal with your coffee dependency
If you need to work with multiples CoffeeScript files and need to join then into a single JavaScript file at the end, Rehab is wating for you.
You won't immediately realize you have a problem. Just a few .coffee files here and there and all you need is coffee --join to make it work.
Then, one day, you realize you need more! You need your files to have order or it won't work properly. And that little friend transpiler won't help. You start making maneuvers, like huge Cakefiles, file lists(!) or even put your files in alphabetic order (!!!). But one day you stop and think "There should be a better way to do that! I need help!"
Yes, we know... That's why we are here.
Rehab deals with coffeescript dependency using a simple tag #_require [filename] on the file that have dependencies.
#_require ../filenameA.coffee
#_require ../filenameB.coffee
class app.Model2
With that on your troublesome files and Rehab will give you a list of files in the right order so you can use it, for instance, with your Cakefile:
{exec} = require 'child_process'
Rehab = require 'rehab'
task 'build', 'Build coffee2js using Rehab', sbuild = ->
console.log "Building project from src/*.coffee to lib/app.js"
files = new Rehab().process './src'
to_single_file = "--join lib/app.js"
from_files = "--compile #{files.join ' '}"
exec "coffee #{to_single_file} #{from_files}", (err, stdout, stderr) ->
