Text editor plugins

  • Brewer: rbrcurtis's Brewer project browser based editor use's the ace editor (which cloud9 also uses) to show the compiled JS alongside your coffeescript, much like the coffeescript homepage, and runs a simple nodejs webserver on your machine to provide file manipulation functionality.

  • Cloud9IDE: tanepiper's Cloud9IDE CoffeeScript Live extension - provides a live debug environment for .coffee files in Cloud9. Of course, written in CoffeeScript too!

  • Coda/SubEthaEdit:

  • Emacs: defunkt's CoffeeScript Major Mode — provides syntax highlighting, indentation support, and some bonus commands.

  • gedit: wavded's gedit-coffeescript — provides syntax highlighting.

  • IntelliJ IDEA/RubyMine/PyCharm/PHPStorm/WebStorm:

    • yeungda's coffeescript-idea — provides syntax highlighting. development halted: see next item.
    • netzpirat's CoffeeBrew — an extensive refactoring and improvement upon coffeescript-idea. development halted: see next item.
    • Official Support is planned for RubyMine 4, using CoffeeBrew as a base. Whether or not this support will be more widely available is currently up in the air. Please add your comments to the bug tracker if you would like to see CoffeeScript support in other jetbrains products than just RubyMine, with all of the features one would expect from a jetbrains product (completion, inspections/intentions, auto-fix, go-to-definition, etc).
  • jEdit: dhotson's and balazstth's coffeescript-jedit — which provides syntax highlighting and indentation support in jEdit.

  • Kate: max99x's kate-coffeescript — provides syntax highlighting.

  • NetBeans: dstepanov's coffeescript-netbeans - compiles coffeescript files without Node.js, advanced syntax highlighting, error checking by background compilation and autocompilation

  • Sublime Text 2: jashkenas's CoffeeScript TextMate bundle above provides syntax highlighting and snippet expansion.

  • Textadept: rgieseke's CoffeeScript Textadept module — provides snippets, additional key commands and indentation support.

  • TextMate: jashkenas's CoffeeScript TextMate bundle — provides syntax highlighting, snippet expansion, and the ability to run bits of CoffeeScript from within TextMate itself.

  • Vim: kchmck's Vim CoffeeScript — adds Vim syntax highlighting and indentation support.

  • Vim snippets collections carlosvillu's CoffeeScript Vim Snippets - add snippets to be used with the snippets vim plugin.

  • Vim: claco's plugin for jasmine testing in vim with support for CoffeeScript Jasmine/CoffeeSCript Vim Plugin

  • Vim: clvv's fork of a.vim - support for switching between .coffee and compiled .js files.

  • Visual Studio: CoffeeLite

  • BBEdit: pmuellr's CoffeeScript BBEdit Language Module / plist - not perfect, but seems to handle most things in an acceptable fashion.
