lazy-alloy

lazy-alloy is a CoffeeScript & Jade preprocessor for Titanium Alloy Framework.

##What does it do?

It makes you write a tiny bit less code. Perhaps also a bit more readable (¿¿¿) code as well.

Also, it will compile your widgets from src/widgets stored in the following directories.

Inspired by coffee-alloy but eventually grew out of its box. Feel free to improve.

Usage

Dependencies

• nodejs
• npm
• titanium (cli)
• alloy
• brain (optional)

Installation

1. Install Titanium Alloy Framework.
2. npm install -g lazy-alloy

Note regarding the *.coffee –> *.tss conversion

The files need to be valid coffee-script objects; thus the first line of these files needs to be a variable assignment like the following

tss =
  ".container":
    backgroundColor: "red"

  "Label":
	width: Ti.UI.SIZE
	height: Ti.UI.SIZE
	color: "#fff"

Its output will look like this:

".container": {
  backgroundColor: "red"
},
"Label": {
  width: Ti.UI.SIZE,
  height: Ti.UI.SIZE,
  color: "#fff"
}

Perhaps something like stylus would be a better fit for this kind of job. Feel free to help us improve this section!
