How to properly set up Coffeescript with Node.js

Question

I\'m trying to define some Node routes using Coffeescript in the following way:

My app.js file:

/**
 * Module dependencies.
 */

require(\'coffee-scr         


        

Answer 1

In CoffeeScript 1.7, the line require('coffee-script') no longer allows you to require CoffeeScript files. Instead, you need to either:

require('coffee-script/register')

or

require('coffee-script').register()

See the documentation.
