This command is used to compile a CoffeeScript file into JavaScript. Let's break it down:
coffee
is the command to execute the CoffeeScript compiler.--compile
is an option that tells the compiler to compile the specified CoffeeScript file.${filename-coffee}
is a placeholder for the name of the CoffeeScript file you want to compile. You would replace this placeholder with the actual file name.--output
is an option that specifies the output directory for the compiled JavaScript file.${filename-js}
is a placeholder for the desired name of the output JavaScript file. You would replace this placeholder with the actual desired file name.
Overall, this command instructs the CoffeeScript compiler to compile a CoffeeScript file (specified by ${filename-coffee}
) into JavaScript and save the resulting file in the specified output directory with the desired name (specified by ${filename-js}
).
