the connect middleware for coffeescript?

coffeescript, express, node.js, node.js-connect

Solution

I've just published a new module, npm install connect-coffee-script, which does just that. Documentation and a sample are provided as well as an introduction article.

Here's an exemple from the readme:

    var coffeescript = require('connect-coffee-script');
    var connect = require('connect');

    var app = connect();

    app.use(coffeescript({
        src: __dirname,
        dest: __dirname + '/public',
        bare: true
    }));

    app.use(connect.static(__dirname + '/public'));

    app.listen(3000)

Problem

Yes I know `connect-assets`. But I hope the `coffeescript` files can be compiled on request. Just like in `stylus` middleware. ``` app.use(stylus.middleware( src: __dirname + "/assets", dest: __dirname + "/public" )) ``` So, is there anything that works this way? I know `connect.compiler` too. But it has been removed in newest version of `connect`.
