Shorthand expression of JS objects in CoffeeScript
CoffeeScript has a wonderful little shorthand expression for Javascript objects. Say you have a javascript object that looks like this:
var name = "Paul Jensen";
var age = 27;
var occupation = "Software developer";
var person = {
name: name,
age: age,
occupation: occupation
};
We could express the person object in CoffeeScript like this:
name = "Paul Jensen"
age = 27
occupation = "Software developer"
person = {name,age,occupation}
CoffeeScript is smart enough to recognise the variable names, and use them as the Object's keys.
