Is there a CoffeeScript wrapper function to load all the files together?

Question

My CoffeeScript code is ~6,000 lines. For my sanity, I want to separate it to several files.

CoffeScript adds a wrapper for every file:

(function() {

  something = [1,2,3]

}).call(this);

But instead, I want it to wrap all the files in the manifest together. How do I get this to work?

You could call the Sprockets require directive inside of your CoffeeScript file to require the code from another file.

#= require path/to/other/file

Otherwise you could also configure Sprockets to compile your CoffeeScript using the bare option, but it's not recommended.

This is so awesome. Where is it documented? – CamelCamelCamel May 29 '12 at 08:51
Now that I think of it, the docs don't specifically mention you can use the `require` directive inside of CoffeeScript. I actually picked up the tip at a Meetup. https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets – Sandro May 29 '12 at 15:33
Well, it does work (if it's right on the top of the file) so thank you! – CamelCamelCamel May 29 '12 at 21:30
