I’m a huge fan of CoffeeScript and use it wherever I can... It works for the most part but I had to straddle the syntactical line between brittle and overwrought, with all of the extra brackets. I don't know what extra brackets are referred to here without code samples, but based on the link to Vjeux's post [0], they are completely unnecessary, given the behavior of React vis-a-vis multiple parameters and CoffeeScript with syntactic whitespace and object literals, at least as of CoffeeScript 1.7... For instance, the example: {div, h3, textarea} = React.DOM
(div {className: 'MarkdownEditor'}, [
(h3 {}, 'Input'),
(textarea {onKeyUp: @handleKeyUp, ref: 'textarea'},
@state.value
)
])
Could be written with far less punctuation as: {div, h3, textarea} = React.DOM
div
className: 'MarkdownEditor'
h3 {}, 'Input'
textarea
onKeyUp: @handleKeyUp
ref: 'textarea'
@state.value
(Though I usually pass null as the empty param to make it feel worse...)[0]: http://blog.vjeux.com/2013/javascript/react-coffeescript.htm... |
