I am working in CoffeeScript (writing a Cakefile). I would like to compile some other CoffeeScript files, à la
coffee -o lib -c src
I could launch the above command in a child process, but this approach has cross-platform issues and makes error handling difficult. I'd much rather use an API.
I'd be happy to use the exact functions from command.coffee, but I can't work out how.
Addendum: I see require('coffee-script').compile, which compiles a string to another string. That would still leave me to do the grunt work of looping over files and subfolders and writing the output.
