lineman new --coffee #224

Closed searls closed 10 years ago

@itsthatguy raised a great point: we should let the user specify they would like their configuration files Coffee-ified.

I know I would. +1million

Indeed. It has seemed odd to me that we generate coffee for the boilerplate files, but js for the config. I'd think they should be consistent. If we generate js config by default, then our example/boilerplate files should be js to match. And the --coffee flag would cause both the configs and the boilerplate to be coffee.

Yes. +1million The first thing I do after lineman new is convert the js configuration files to Coffee.

+1 ;)

I also think this feature should set a property prefersCoffee: true in the config/application.coffee file, so that other plugins (like lineman-browserify) can know to generate coffee when needed
