Impossibility to use this lib without coffeescript?

[davesnx]

Hello guys,

I'm working on some project that isn't CoffeeScript and I have some troubles for bundle my App with this dependency. It's related with highlights and node-oniguruma

Both are calling some binary (coffee-script in the hightlights case) in some point of the code.

When I'm trying to bundle the app I get the followings WARNINGS/ERRORS:

WARNING in ./~/highlights/~/coffee-script/lib/coffee-script/coffee-script.js
require.extensions is not supported by webpack. Use a loader instead.

WARNING in ./~/highlights/~/coffee-script/lib/coffee-script/register.js

You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

I'm using webpack, sooo I suposed that could be that: I could add the coffee-loader in my webpack config to be able to require some coffee files, but isn't the problem I guess and I don't want to add coffee stuff on a vanilla js project.

My real question is: If you are building the source code with grunt with the coffee-script config, how the import's to the binary files works? There's something that I can do for fixing it? Anyone knows? 😢

Thanks for reading.

Hey @davesnx, I'm curious how you're approaching installing this module; coffee-script should only be a development dependency, we compile the coffeescript into .js files prior to publishing.

I just install it by npm @bcoe.

Any update on this @bcoe ?
