CoffeeScript

Last modified: 22 November 2024

With CLion, you can use CoffeeScript that compiles into JavaScript. CLion recognizes *.coffee files and marks them with the CoffeeScript icon. You can set breakpoints directly in your CoffeeScript code, and CLion recognizes them using source maps generated during compilation.

CLion helps you write CoffeeScript code by suggesting completion for keywords, labels, variables, parameters and functions. You can jump from a symbol to its declaration Ctrl0B or implementation CtrlAlt0B as well as find any symbol by its name CtrlAltShift0N.

CLion integrates with the coffeescript compiler that translates CoffeeScript code into JavaScript. The tool also creates source maps that set correspondence between lines in your CoffeeScript code and in the generated JavaScript code so that CLion debugger recognizes breakpoints in your CoffeeScript code and processes them correctly.
