functions are not included into the modules

Only classes are included in the modules, functions are not..

Try under math/math.coffee

limit = (low, value, high) -> Math.max(low, Math.min(value, high))

You have to do math.limit = ....

Hi, this is weird, which version are you using?

I've tested right now and everything worked fine for me.

• Project creation:

[15:30][nybras@nybras:/code]$ toaster -n simple_methods
Let's toast something fresh! :)
. With this as your basepath: /code/simple_methods
. Please tell me:
    Where do you want your src folder? [src] :  
    Where do you want your release file? [www/js/app.js] :  
    Starting from your webroot '/', what's the folderpath to reach your release file? (i.e. javascript) (optional) :  
Created /code/simple_methods
Created /code/simple_methods/src
Created /code/simple_methods/vendors
Created /code/simple_methods/www/js
Created /code/simple_methods/toaster.coffee

• Compiling:

[15:30][nybras@nybras:/code]$ cd simple_methods/
[15:30][nybras@nybras:/code/simple_methods]$ echo "limit = (low, value, high) -> Math.max(low, Math.min(value, high))" >> src/main.coffee
[15:31][nybras@nybras:/code/simple_methods]$ toaster -wd
Compiled /code/simple_methods/www/js/app.js @ 15:31:3
Compiled /code/simple_methods/www/js/app-debug.js @ 15:31:3

• Checking if everything is ok:

[15:31][nybras@nybras:/code/simple_methods]$ cat www/js/app.js 

• Output:

var __t;

__t = function(ns) {
  var curr, index, part, parts, _i, _len;
  curr = null;
  parts = [].concat = ns.split(".");
  for (index = _i = 0, _len = parts.length; _i < _len; index = ++_i) {
    part = parts[index];
    if (curr === null) {
      curr = eval(part);
      continue;
    } else {
      if (curr[part] == null) {
        curr = curr[part] = {};
      } else {
        curr = curr[part];
      }
    }
  }
  return curr;
};

(function() {
  var limit;

  limit = function(low, value, high) {
    return Math.max(low, Math.min(value, high));
  };

}).call(this);

Please, update to 0.6.2 and let me know if anything goes wrong for you, so I reopen this issue and we keep investigating the reason.

Thank you.

I have my directory as:

myapp/src/math/commons.coffee

I'm expecting that the function limit to be automatically put in to the math object, so when i call it from other places, it would be math.limit

Hi, currently you will have to work with classes to gain the benefits of the toaster packaging system.

In this case I bet you'll use static methods in a class, like:

# myapp/src/math.coffee
class math
  @limit:( low, value, high ) -> Math.max low, ( Math.min value, high )

Anyway I'll check how to implement it in the current context and see if there's any drawbacks on doing this.

Thank you for the idea. :)

[shuhaowu]

Yeah, i'm just doing math.limit = (low, value, high)

Functions in modules are definitely very useful indeed.

Also a separate suggestions is that instead of wrapping everything into an object for these functions, compile these functions like math_limit = function(low, value, high). Reason being that this is actually faster than object look ups in JavaScript. (See closure compiler..)
