commonify v1.1.0

Converts AMD/RequireJS modules to CommonJS. Supports CoffeeScript.

Commonify

As you know, AMD handles path differently than CommonJS. Commonify automatically finds correct path using fuzzy search.

Example

Before convertation

define ['underscore', 'models/user'], (_, User) ->
  initialize: (app) ->

After convertation

_ = require('underscore')
User = require('./models/user')

module.exports =
  initialize: (app) ->

Usage

Install and run

$ npm install -g commonify
$ commonify app/*.coffee

$ commonify [--dry] files

Contributing (doesn't work? How to fix)

While this project lacks unit tests (yet), it has workflow focused on fixing bugs in the wild.

So, if you encounter the bug, please:

1. Clone the repo, install deps in npm install.
2. Run Commonify in development mode (see below).
3. You will likely want to fix grammar file coffee.pegjs. Use PEG.js docs for that. When you change any source file, Commonify re-runs the convertation.
4. Do few quickly iterations.
5. When you're done with the file, re-run Commonify on the whole project and review diffs.

Development Mode

$ git clone https://github.com/Lendar/commonify; cd commonify
$ npm start --files=../existing-project/file.coffee
