ColaScript is the language that compiles into JavaScript. This language is similar to Dart, CoffeeScript, Python, Go and PHP, with some original ideas. Compiler based on UglifyJS2. You can try ColaScript here (stable) or here (dev). Learn more about ColaScript.
Firstly, make sure you have installed the latest version of node.js (You may need to restart your computer after this step).
From NPM for use as a command line app:
$ npm install cola-script -g
From NPM for programmatic use:
$ npm install cola-script
From Bower for using in browser:
$ bower install cola-script
From Git:
$ git clone git://github.com/TrigenSoftware/ColaScript.git
$ cd ColaScript
$ npm link .
Use it same as in UglifyJS2, except:
-j, --js, --javascript Work with JavaScript (by default Cola will
expect ColaScript). [boolean]
-n, --node Enable compilation for node. [boolean]
-P, --packages Path to packages.json (packages.json by
default). [string]
-i, --ignore-main-wrapping Ignore `main` wrapping. [boolean]
--browser-cola Build itself (Cola) for running Cola in browser.
[boolean]
Simple example of usage:
$ cola main.cola -o main.min.js -m -c
During developing is more comfortable to compile the code directly in your browser, for that add browser-cola.js
to your.html
code:
<script src="path/to/browser-cola.js"></script>
Now you can run your Cola-Code:
<script type="text/colascript" src="path/to/your.cola"></script>
If your.cola
depends on other scripts in your.html
, it's better to notice browser-cola
about it:
<script type="text/colascript" src="angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/colascript" src="path/to/your.cola"></script>
