jQuery Plugin Authoring with CoffeeScript

Hi Guys,

I am using rails-3.1 which use CoffeeScript by default.

Does anybody know how to write jQuery plugin in CoffeeScript according to official jQuery guide?

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring

I knew this:

https://gist.github.com/909017

but I think it’s different from jQuery official guide.

Also, can I remove ‘function-call-this’ wrapper?

If I do that, will I bring myself into another trouble?

I mean: (function() { my code }).call(this);

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hello i'm trying to make this code shorter in coffee script ... what do you suggest? i'm new to coffee script and just want to know how i would shorten this command

keyDownHandler = (event) ->   selectedItem = $(event.target).siblings(".suggestions").children(".current-suggestion")   if selectedItem.length > 0     if event.which is 40       nextItem = $(selectedItem).removeClass("current-suggestion").next()       nextItem.addClass "current-suggestion" if nextItem.length > 0       return     if event.which is 38       nextItem = $(selectedItem).removeClass("current-suggestion").prev()       nextItem.addClass "current-suggestion" if nextItem.length > 0       return     if event.which is 13 or event.which is 9       addSuggestion(event.target)(selectedItem)       event.preventDefault()       return

Not sure if it helps but I wrote this: https://gist.github.com/979717
