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

AppCode helps you write CoffeeScript code by suggesting completion for keywords, labels, variables, parameters and functions. You can jump from a symbol to its declaration Ctrl+B or implementation Ctrl+Alt+B as well as find any symbol by its name Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N.

AppCode 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 AppCode debugger recognizes breakpoints in your CoffeeScript code and processes them correctly.
