Aroma
Command line utility to compile CoffeeScript objects into property list files.
Rationale
A plist file is very verbose and cumbersome to edit. Aroma lets you define your property lists in CoffeeScript with a much more terse syntax with the added benefit of using logic and variables.
Just create an .aroma.coffee file that exports the object you wish to use:
foo = "Dynamic!" module.exports = foo: foo baz: "bar"
The generated plist will be:
foo Dynamic! baz bar
Notice how much more terse the coffee file is? Did you also notice how we used a variable!
Usage
Compile a single file:
$ aroma -c myfile.aroma.coffee
Compile all the aroma coffee files in ./src
to plist files in ./lib
:
$ aroma -o lib -c src
Watch the current directory for any changes and automatically compile .aroma.coffee files:
$ aroma -w
Specify what extension to save the property list as:
$ aroma -e ".tmTheme"
Installation
Aroma is a Node.js module so first you must install Node.js then run npm install -g aroma
