Tern for CoffeeScript plugins

=============================

Use a work around way to let tern.js play with CoffeeScript.

Requirement

-----------

Tern.js 0.6 and node environment.

Installation

------------

Use npm to install this plugin in tern's directory.

    npm install tern-coffee

For example, vim user:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle/tern_for_vim

    npm install tern-coffee

Then you must let your editor enable tern for CoffeeScript files. Vim user

can install [tern_for_vim_coffee][2]. This is very simple plugin. You must install

both **tern_for_vim** and **tern_for_vim_coffee**

Last part is [.tern-project][3] file. It's required to use a plugin. Remember 

to add `coffee` to plugin list.

How

---

Marijn [describes][1] how difficult to let tern support a new language. CoffeeScript only have source map support. There is no error tolerance CoffeeScript compiler available. So this is not a perfect solution.

The walk around solution is try to fix the editing CoffeeScript file before compile to JavaScript. Ex:

    obj.

Will change to

    obj.__fake__

Before compile. There are more fix rules. Not perfect but should ok for normal editing.

The base of source mapping logic is by [mntmn][4].
