coffee-react

library5.0.1jsnpmunverified

Deprecated tool that provided JSX-like syntax for building React components with CoffeeScript, using the CJSX format. The 5.0.1 stable release is the last; the project has been abandoned. It wraps coffee-react-transform and coffee-script to compile CJSX to JavaScript, and includes a cjsx executable that functions as a coffee replacement. Key differentiator: allowed React JSX syntax within CoffeeScript files. Now superseded by cjsx-codemod for migration. No longer maintained or recommended for new projects.

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Installs coffee-react globally, compiles a CJSX file to JavaScript using the cjsx command, then outputs the resulting JS.

npm install -g coffee-react@5.0.1 cat <<EOF > component.cjsx MyComponent = React.createClass render: -> <div className="greeting"> Hello, {if @props.name? then @props.name else 'World'}! </div> EOF cjsx -c component.cjsx cat component.js

cjsx --version

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is no longer maintained and marked as deprecated. Use cjsx-codemod to transition away.

fix

Migrate codebase using cjsx-codemod (https://github.com/jsdf/cjsx-codemod) and consider moving to modern alternatives like Babel with JSX.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaInsurmountable limitations exist in the parser; complex CJSX syntax may produce bugs.

fix

Avoid writing new CJSX code; use standard JSX with JavaScript or TypeScript instead.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingVersion 5.x only supports React 0.13.x - 0.15.x. Using with newer React versions will cause issues.

fix

Pin React to 0.13.x - 0.15.x, or move away from coffee-react.

affects: 5.0.0 - 5.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'coffee-react-transform'

Missing required dependency when using coffee-react directly via require().

fix

Ensure both coffee-react and coffee-react-transform are installed: npm install coffee-react coffee-react-transform

cjsx: command not found

Package not installed globally or not in PATH.

fix

Install globally: npm install -g coffee-react@5.0.1, or use npx coffee-react

Parse error on line ... Unexpected token '<'

CJSX syntax not correctly formatted or using incompatible JSX-like syntax.

fix

Review CJSX syntax rules; ensure elements are properly closed and attributes use CoffeeScript expressions.
