MeteorJS and Coffeescript

Question

I had /clients/client.js , /server/server.js and /model.js

In model.js I had: "Lists = new Meteor.Collection("lists"); In client/server I had used this collection. All works fine.

After adding coffeescript. I had convert all my js (3) files into .coffee. Remove js files and start meteor. But now I've got:

Uncaught ReferenceError: Lists is not defined

Why? Where is mistake?

Lists = new Meteor.Collection "lists"

Thanks

See http://docs.meteor.com/#coffeescript about how to use @ as a convenient way to define global variables from CoffeeScript inside of the Meteor environment. As @Akshat mentioned in the comments, Meteor sets this at the top level to the global environment to make this easy.
