How to spread out CoffeeScript over several files so variables are shared?
0
Say I have the most basic CoffeeScript program possible that goes like:
console.log "Hello, World!"
But it's too complicated so I want to separate my program into multiple files.
#hello.coffee
console.log "Hello, #{stuff}!"
And
#stuff.coffee
stuff = "World"
What should be done to hello.coffee to know the variable stuff?
The catch of it is that I'd rather not have to do separate compiles to JS.

So I can just add things towindowlikewindow.stuff = "World"and this will be available in another file like:stuff = window.stuff. Am I correct?

Yes, it will be available in all files on the globalwindowobject. But there is no need forstuff= window.stuff. You can just usestuffin another file (ie.window.stuffis the same asstuffgiven that there isn't another localstuffvariable defined).

Yes, it will be available in all files on the globalwindowobject. But there is no need forstuff= window.stuff. You can just usestuffin another file (ie.window.stuffis the same asstuffgiven that there isn't another localstuffvariable defined).

Yes, it will be available in all files on the global
window object. But there is no need for stuff= window.stuff. You can just use stuff in another file (ie. window.stuff is the same as stuff given that there isn't another local stuff variable defined).– Caffeinated.tech
