CoffeeScript source maps for nodeJS development

Question

Now that CoffeeScript supports the new Source Map hotness, I was wondering if I can also use the source maps not just in my browser, but on the command line while developing my nodeJS apps.

I want the JS compiler to give me more useful error traces where the lines actually match with my coffeescript files instead of compiled JS files.

Answer 1

The source-map-support module does this, just install the module and put this at the top of your code:

require('source-map-support').install()
