Using CoffeeScript with pipedream

Dev
1

I much prefer to use CoffeeScript in place of JavaScript. However, I wouldn’t recommend supporting CoffeeScript directly. I would like to see a step which is capable of compiling (i.e. converting from one format to another) code in any language I want, given code to do that compilation, which could be restricted to being JavaScript or Python for all I care. Written once, it could be used over and over.

Or does someone know a way to do that with the current incarnation of pipedream?

A solution should allow me to write the conversion code once, then use CoffeeScript (or whatever) any place that pipedream currently allows code in JavaScript or Python.

Hi @john.deighan,

I don’t think that it is possible to apply your idea to the current version of Pipedream. For now you will need to compile the CoffeeScript to Javascript in your local machine, then copy and paste the code into your Pipedream Node.js code step.

You can create a ticket here to request for this CoffeeScript support, when there’s enough needs, the Pipedream team will consider implementing it
