Requiring CoffeeScript file from within another Co

Question

I was wondering if you are able to require a coffeescript from within another coffeescript.

My example code from file "user.coffee"

class UserObj
    constructor: (@name) ->
        console.log @name

My example code from main file

require "./user.coffee"

User = new UserObj "Example"

Is this possible from within a coffeescript file or just a js file?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible.

user.coffee:

exports.UserObj = 
class UserObj
    constructor: (@name) ->
        console.log @name

main.coffee:

{UserObj} = require "./user"

User = new UserObj "Example"

Answer 2

You can use this library coffee-stir to include other dependencies. Its a way around only using required from the web and it will add dependencies as you use it. FYI i made the lib when i was facing similar problems
