moonscript-mode

Overview

A basic major mode for editing MoonScript, a preprocessed language for Lua which shares many similarities with CoffeeScript.

Also includes a very basic major mode for the experimental MoonScript REPL.

History

This mode started out as a modification of stuff found in @GriffinSchneider's Emacs configs.

Installation

From MELPA

The easiest way to get the mode is to install the moonscript package from the MELPA package archive.

Manual

$ cd ~/.emacs.d/vendor
$ git clone https://github.com/k2052/moonscript-mode.git

And add following to your .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/vendor/moonscript-mode")
(require 'moonscript)
(require 'moonscript-repl)

Usage

With a REPL

If you load up a moonscript REPL (see https://github.com/leafo/moonscript/wiki/Moonscriptrepl) you can then hit:

M-X moonscript-repl-mode

to activate.

Improvements and more docs will come as we need them.

Development

The package ships with an ERT test suite and a Makefile. Assuming a recent Emacs is on your PATH:

make check      # byte-compile (warnings are errors) and run tests
make test       # run the ERT test suite only
make compile    # byte-compile the sources only

To run a single test from within Emacs:

M-x ert RET moonscript-indent-line/indents-relative-to-prev RET

The suite has no external dependencies beyond Emacs itself; ERT is part of the standard distribution.
