How to get started

$3

Install Milkee:

``bash


global installation

> [!TIP]
> @babel/core is required if options.transpile is true .

`bash


global installation

Run -s (--setup) command, generate coffee.config.cjs!

`bash


global

`js
/* @type {import('@milkee/d').Config} /

module.exports = {
// The entry point for compilation.
// This can be a single file or a directory (e.g., 'src/' or 'src/app.coffee').
entry: 'src',
// The output for the compiled JavaScript files.
// If 'options.join' is true, this should be a single file path (e.g., 'dist/app.js').
// If 'options.join' is false, this should be a directory (e.g., 'dist').
output: 'dist',
// (Optional) Additional options for the CoffeeScript compiler.
// See coffee --help for all available options.
// Web: https://coffeescript.org/annotated-source/command.html
options: {
// The following options are supported:
// bare: false,
// join: false,
// map: false,
// inlineMap: false,
// noHeader: false,
// transpile: false,
// literate: false,
// watch: false,
},
// (Optional) Additional options/plugins for the Milkee builder.
milkee: {
options: {
// Ignore update notifications.
// ignoreUpdate: false,
// Before compiling, reset the directory.
// refresh: false,
// Before compiling, confirm "Do you want to Continue?"
// confirm: false,
// After compiling, copy non-coffee files from entry to output directory. (Only works when options.join is false)
// copy: false,
},
plugins: []
},
};

##### options (CoffeeScript Compiler Options)

These options are passed directly to the coffee compiler.

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| bare | boolean | false | compile without a top-level function wrapper |
| join | boolean | false | concatenate the source CoffeeScript before compiling |
| map | boolean | false | generate source map and save as .js.map files |
| inlineMap | boolean | false | generate source map and include it directly in output |
| noHeader | boolean | false | suppress the "Generated by" header |
| transpile | boolean | false | pipe generated JavaScript through Babel |
| literate | boolean | false | treat stdio as literate style coffeescript |
| watch | boolean | false | watch scripts for changes and rerun commands |

CoffeeScript - command.coffee

##### milkee.options (Milkee Specific Options)

These options control Milkee's behavior.

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| ignoreUpdate | boolean | false | Ignore update notifications. |
| refresh | boolean | false | Before compiling, reset the output directory. |
| confirm | boolean | false | Before compiling, prompt "Do you want to Continue?". |
| copy | boolean | false | After compiling, copy non-coffee files from entry to output directory. (Only works when options.join is false) |

##### milkee.plugins (Milkee Specific Plugins)

You can extend Milkee's functionality by using plugins. Plugins are simple functions that run after each successful compilation, giving you access to the compiled files and configuration.

Example:

`js
const myPlugin = require('./plugins/my-plugin.js');

module.exports = {
// ...
milkee: {
plugins: [
// This call returns the PluginExecutor
myPlugin({ option: 'value' }),
// ...
]
}
}
`

Milkee will automatically read coffee.config.cjs, assemble the command from your options, and start compilation!

`bash


global
