Coffeescript generators

eriktrom commented 10 years ago

I'll rebase this when i'm done, i think it should be merged last. There are some things to like and others to dislike about the features contained within this branch. Namely, coffee script support is cool in general but comes with it's own set of caveats, and I'm beginning to think just in time compilation of cs files is more of a fetish than a benefit. Yet to be determined though.

I'm putting this on hold until we iron out the conventions for regular js files and simplify the output of the generator even more... if anyone thought understanding this in plain js was hard, it's even harder with coffescript because of the cs! crap that is used... pre-compiling is simpler, but also slower...

I actually have a preference to write tests in coffee script cause their easier to read, so i would like this to be easy to use/edit

the remaining TODO's here are:

[ ] requiring views/root and doing new RootView() throws a 'cannot call method undefined' -- this only happens when using karma, i think i may just have karma pre-compile... doing this with tests in the browser 'does' work (starting to wonder whether there is too much of a split between browser tests and karma tests, this is the last hurdle, but if more hurdles pop up, simplifying when karma can be used may be needed)
[ ] sub-generators need to spit out tests as well(this is easy, perhaps do this and close this pr and open one for the first todo? yeah let's do that)
