A port of the CoffeeScript compiler (version 1.1.1) to PHP. It's really close to being finished, there are just a few obscure bugs that need hunting down.
- Grammar for the parser generator (a PHP port of Lemon, since there's no port of Bison to PHP afaik)
- Lexer
- Lexical scope regulator
- Rewriter
- Parser
- Bugs
- Make it
E_STRICT?
The compiler itself depends on Jison, which is written in JavaScript, so you'd have to do something about that... More generally speaking, it'd be much more work to try and sort out all the differences between JavaScript and PHP (object model, core classes/libraries, etc), I imagine. There's also much less incentive to do all that work server side, where the choice to not use one language is, if not easy, at least available.
The PEAR package is unmaintained and seems to be broken. In addition, some minor (undocumented) changes have been made to the parser template (Lempar.php) and the actual generator.
PHP 5.3+ (uses namespaces, anonymous functions).
At the moment the API is pretty basic. It'll probably be expanded a bit in the future.
<?php
$coffee = file_get_contents('path/to/source.coffee');
try
{
$js = CoffeeScript\compile($coffee);
}
catch (Exception e) {}
?>To rebuild the parser run php make.php. Running tests is easy, just drop the
entire folder into localhost and go to coffeescript-php/test/.
