am-compiler is a CoffeeScript-based build tool that compiles multiple targets (electron, node, browser) from CoffeeScript source files. As of version 1.0.31, it appears to be a niche package with minimal documentation and no recent updates. It relies on fs-extra for reading JSON and child_process for executing commands. Key differentiators include a custom class extending a base compiler and targeted entry points for electron, node, and browser builds. However, it lacks comprehensive documentation and may be considered experimental or specific to certain workflows.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Compiler
✓ const Compiler = require('am-compiler')
✗ import Compiler from 'am-compiler'
This package is CommonJS only; ESM import will fail.
AmCompiler
✓ const AmCompiler = require('am-compiler')
✗ import { AmCompiler } from 'am-compiler'
Named import not supported; use default require.
Class extension
✓ class MyCompiler extends Compiler { ... }
✗ class MyCompiler extends require('am-compiler').Compiler { ... }
Direct extension of the required module works; .Compiler is unnecessary.

Shows how to extend the Compiler class, set entry points for electron, node, and browser, and override callback.

const fse = require('fs-extra'); const Compiler = require('am-compiler'); class AmCompiler extends Compiler { constructor() { super(); this.checkNum = 0; } electronStart() { const cmd = fse.readJsonSync('package.json').scripts.electron; require('child_process').exec(cmd); } callback(err, stats) { super.callback(err, stats); if (err) { console.log(err); return; } this.checkNum++; if (this.checkNum === 3) { this.electronStart(); } } start() { this.electronOption.entry = { 'electron/.build/start': './electron/test/start.coffee', 'app/.build/preload': './app/test/preload.coffee', 'app/.build/electron': './app/test/electron.coffee' }; this.nodeOption.entry = { 'app/.build/server': './app/test/server.coffee' }; this.browserOption.entry = { 'web/.build/client': './web/test/client.coffee' }; super.start(); } } const compiler = new AmCompiler(); compiler.start();
Debug
Known issues
gotchaThe start method must be called after instantiation; it is not automatically called.
fix
Create an instance and call .start() explicitly.
affects: *
gotchacallback expects super.callback(err, stats) to be called; failing to do so may break chain.
fix
Always call super.callback(err, stats) in overridden callback.
affects: *
breakingIn versions prior to 1.0.25, the class name was AmCompilerExport and the module exported differently.
fix
Use const Compiler = require('am-compiler') for all versions >=1.0.25.
affects: <1.0.25
deprecatedThe package is no longer actively maintained and may break with newer Node.js versions.
fix
Consider migrating to a more modern build tool like Webpack or Rollup.
affects: *
Errors
Common errors & fixes
TypeError: Compiler is not a constructor
Importing the module incorrectly or using an older version where export was different.
fix
Ensure you are using version >=1.0.25 and use const Compiler = require('am-compiler').
Cannot find module 'am-compiler'
Package not installed or not in node_modules.
fix
Run npm install am-compiler --save
fse.readJsonSync is not a function
fs-extra not installed or not required.
fix
Install fs-extra: npm install fs-extra --save and require it: const fse = require('fs-extra');
