Command line utility to compile CoffeeScript objects into property list files.
A plist file is very verbose and cumbersome to edit. Aroma lets you define your property lists in CoffeeScript with a much more terse syntax with the added benefit of using logic and variables.
Just create an .aroma.coffee file that exports the object you wish to use:
foo = "Dynamic!"
module.exports =
foo: foo
baz: "bar"The generated plist will be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>foo</key>
<string>Dynamic!</string>
<key>baz</key>
<string>bar</string>
</dict>
</plist>Notice how much more terse the coffee file is? Did you also notice how we used a variable!
Compile a single file:
$ aroma -c myfile.aroma.coffee
Compile all the aroma coffee files in ./src to plist files in ./lib:
$ aroma -o lib -c src
Watch the current directory for any changes and automatically compile .aroma.coffee files:
$ aroma -w
Specify what extension to save the property list as:
$ aroma -e tmTheme
Aroma is a Node.js module so first you must install Node.js then run npm install -g aroma
