Ruby LiveScript
Ruby LiveScript is a bridge to the official LiveScript compiler.
LiveScript.compile File.read("script.ls)
This gem is a fork of ruby-coffee-script
adapted for LiveScript.
Installation
gem install livescript
Dependencies
This library depends on the livescript-source
gem which is
updated any time a new version of LiveScript is released. (The
livescript-source
gem's version number is synced with each
official LiveScript release.) This way you can build against
different versions of LiveScript by requiring the correct version of
the livescript-source
gem.
In addition, you can use this library with unreleased versions of
LiveScript by setting the LIVESCRIPT_SOURCE_PATH
environment
variable:
export LIVESCRIPT_SOURCE_PATH=/path/to/LiveScript/extras/livescript.js
JSON
The json
library is also required but is not explicitly stated as a
gem dependency. If you're on Ruby 1.8 you'll need to install the
json
or json_pure
gem. On Ruby 1.9, json
is included in the
standard library.
ExecJS
The ExecJS library is used to automatically choose the best JavaScript engine for your platform. Check out its README for a complete list of supported engines.
