moonscript-loader

moonscript-loader
=================
moonscript-loader is a webpack4 loader for compiling [MoonScript][moonscript] to [Lua][lua].
It is intended to be used with [fengari.io][fengari]/[fengari-loader][fengari-loader] (but if you find another way to run Lua go ahead).

Example Setup

This is just an example setup - webpack is very flexible.
Don't assume any of these extra dependencies are necessary.

install dependencies:

touch package.json && npm i --save-dev webpack webpack-dev-server fengari-loader fengari-web moonscript-loader html-webpack-plugin

set up your webpack config (webpack.config.js):

``js
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
entry: './toast.moon',
mode: 'development',
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.moon$/,
use: [
'fengari-loader',
'moonscript-loader',
]
},
]
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
],
}
`

write some Moonscript (toast.moon):
`moonscript
window = js.global

y = (x) -> x * 2
window.console\log y 14
``

run everything and visit http://localhost:8080 :)
