WP CoffeeScript
WP CoffeeScript is a WordPress plugin that makes enqueueing CoffeeScript as easy as enqueueing JavaScript. Instead of using wp_enqueue_script(), as you would for JS, you just use enqueue_coffeescript(), which takes almost exactly the same arguments. The only difference is that the second argument should be the file path instead of the URL. If you’d like to compile multiple CS files into a single JS file, you can use an array of file paths as the second argument.
Please note that the CoffeeScript executable must be installed on the server. You can also set a custom path to the executable (see the examples).

Examples
Enqueue a CoffeeScript file that’s in the theme directory:
enqueue_coffeescript('my-handle', get_template_directory().'/my-script.coffee');
Enqueue multiple CS files, compiling them into a single output file:
$script1 = get_template_directory().'/script1.coffee';
$script2 = get_template_directory().'/script2.coffee';
enqueue_coffeescript('my-handle', array($script1, $script2));
Enqueue a CS file in the footer with dependencies (the arguments are exactly the same as in wp_enqueue_script()):
enqueue_coffeescript('my-handle', get_template_directory().'/my-script.coffee', array('dep1', 'dep2'), false, true);
Set a custom path to the CS executable (the default value is coffeescript):
add_filter('wpcs_executable', 'set_wpcs_executable');
function set_wpcs_executable($path) {
return '/my/path/to/coffeescript';
}
Compile the CS on every page load (the default behavior is to only compile when the JS has been modified):
add_filter('wpcs_caching_enabled', 'disable_wpcs_caching');
function disable_wpcs_caching($is_enabled) {
return false;
}
