Custom compiling routine using Coffee Toaster under the hood, injecting javascript's HEADER and FOOTER code to you final JS output file.

compiler.coffee

###

This file replaces your 'toaster.coffee' config file, you'll not need
that anymore since the config is passed to Toaster as a hash/object.

Keep in mind that in order for this to work, you'll have to use toaster
as a dependency, which can be easily achieved putting the provided
'package.json' file in your base dir and running 'npm install' to install
toaster locally. Or just enter your project folder and run
'npm install coffee-toaster' (not recommend but work as well)

###

# 1) Requiring
Toaster = require( "coffee-toaster" ).Toaster

# 2) Configuration as a hash - just like your 'toaster.coffee' config file.
# Feel free to customize it according your needs.
config =
	folders: src:''
	vendors: []
	packaging: false
	minify: false
	bare: true
	release: "www/js/app.js",
	debug: "www/js/app-debug.js"

# 3) Instantiating Toaster passing DIR and OPTIONS/CONFIG. The final argument
# (true) means "DO NOT BUILD AT STARTUP", Toaster constructor is like this:
# 
#	constructor:( basedir, options = null, skip_initial_build = false )->
# 
toaster = new Toaster __dirname, {w:true, d:true, config: config}, true


# 4) Defining the 'recompile' method and linking it with the
# 'toaster.before_build' filter. When this filter is set, toaster WILL NOT
# build your application automatically. You'll need to call 'toaster.build'
# for yourself, and then you'll be able to inject HEADER and FOOTER code - which
# MUST be purely javascript. 
toaster.before_build = recompile = ->
	header = "(function($){$(document).ready(function(){"
	footer = "})}(jQuery))"
	toaster.build header, footer

# 5) Compiling for the first time NOW - since we told toaster to NOT BUILD AT
# STARTUP at step #3 (skip_initial_build=true).
recompile()

# 6) Now instead of calling 'toaster -wd' you just call 'coffee compile.coffee'
# and everything should work as expected.

WOW! awesome!

sorry, did I do something wrong?
