CoffeeScript CheetSheet#
Declaration
there is no vars, and no need to add ';' and the end
i = 10
str = "hello world"
[firstName, lastName] = ["kang", "wang"]
define a function, no need to add the keyword 'function', -> is enough
fn = (param) - ...
Splats: define a function with multi parameters
fn = (parm1, parm1, params...) ->
...
params = ["value1", "value2", "value3", "value4"]
fn(params)
fn("value", params)
fn("value", "value", params)
define an Array
arr = [
"element1"
"element2"
]
define an object
obj =
first: 1
second:
second_1: 1
second_2: 2
third: 3
$('.element').attr class: "active"
lexical scoping and variable safity.
outter = 10
scope = ->
inner = 10
outter = 20 inner = 20
String Interpolation
mixin variable and function in string defination
str = "variable 1: #{var1}, function 1 returns: #{fn()}"
str = "
today is Sunday
so tomorrow is
Monday
"
htmlTpl = """
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello World</h1>

Destructuring Assignment
[var1, var2] = [value1, value2]
use on object unapply
{firstName, lastName} = {firstName: "Kang", lastName: "Wang"}
use for a function multi-returns
location () ->
["US", "LA", "Berkly"]
[county, province, city] = location()
[start, end] = "hello, world".split ","
use to skip some useless bucket ...
[start, ..., end] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
destructuring constructor
class Person
constructor: (options) ->
{@name, @age, @height} = options
tim = new Person age: 4
condition control
if else then
"do something" if true
if true and true
"do something"
else
"do other things"
if true then "do something" else "do other things"
for loop control
for loop while until
print ele for ele in [1, 2, 3, 4]
prints i, ele for ele in [1, 2, 3, 4]
print ele for ele in [1, 2, 3, 4] when ele / 2 != 1
countDown = (num for num in [10 .. 1] by 2)
loop an object
prints k, v for k, v of kid
print ele until ele > 10
print ele while ele > 10
do keywords
for filename in list
do (filename) ->
fs.readFile filename, (err, contents) ->
compile filename, contents.toString()
for ele in [1, 2, 3, 4]

Array Operations
numSerials = [10 .. 0]
start = numSerials[0..2]
end = numSerials[0..-2]
end = numSerials[..]
umSerials[0..2] = [1, 2, 3]
use expression as much as possible
globals = (name for name of window)[0...10]
Existantial Operator ?, ?.
'?' means varaible is null or undefiend
solipsism = true if mind? and world?
speed = 0
speed ?= 15
footprints = yeti ? "bear"
'?.' usef for assessing object attribute
kid.brother?.sister
switch when else
switch day
when "Mon" then ""
when "Tue" then ""
else "WTF"
day = switch day
when "Mon" then ""
when "Tue" then ""
else "WTF"
object oriented
use => to bind this in scope
Account = (customer, cart) ->
@customer = customer

$('.shopping_cart').bind 'click', (event) =>
@customer.purchase @cart
Account2 = (customer, cart) ->
@customer = customer
@cart = cart
$('.shopping_cart').bind 'click', (event) ->
@customer.purchase @cart
bind function to an exists function
Array::map = ->
