CoffeeBuzz

CoffeeBuzz is a serious, enterprise-quality software library that implements the FizzBuzz counting algorithm

Inspired by FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition, and feeling that many Javascript libraries were not up to the high standards of serious business enterprise companies, I created CoffeeBuzz to set a new standard in software quality on the web. Not only is CoffeeBuzz a direct port of the original FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition, it also teaches you how to set up an automated build pipeline for developing Javascript/CoffeeScript libraries.

CoffeeBuzz comes with all the features you would expect in enterprise-level, battle-hardened software, including:

• Fully-automated build pipeline that compiles code and compresses into one Javascript file
• Automatically generated API documentation
• Automatic code quality checks
• Unit and integration tests
• During development, all CoffeeScript code is compiled on-the-fly, in the browser, and includes source maps so stack traces and error messages reference the original .coffee file.

Building

1. Install node.js
2. Install CoffeeBuzz dependencies into the local directory: npm install
3. Run Grunt: grunt

Running

A sample application is included that demonstrates using CoffeeBuzz. To run the app, type grunt server, then point your browser to http://localhost:8000.

To view the auto-generated documentation, go to http://localhost:8000/doc

To run the unit tests, go to http://localhost:8000/spec
