Notes
First, note that CoffeeScript + React is a troubled combination. This plugin relies upon deprecated modules that may someday prove to be dysfunctional or otherwise deficient.
Furthermore, note that the installed version of CoffeeScript is @next. This is not optional - named exports are required for page queries to work properly.
You will need to manually edit your coffee-loader
installation and install
coffeescript
separately in your project directory to ensure that
CoffeeScript@next is being loaded. The very first line of source in the former’s
index.js
should be the following: note the lack of dash.
var coffee = require("coffeescript")
