[CS2] [Docs] Examples of module loading with external tools

[mrmowgli]

Currently the V2 docs mentions the need for an external transpiler, however since this will be an issue for novices, perhaps we could put a quick example in? Or add a default cake task?

Yes, we should add an example. I remember suggesting somewhere that the docs should have the most minimal version in the docs, like coffee file.coffee | babel or whatever the bash one-liner is, with links to GitHub repos showing examples with Gulp and Webpack and so on.

Adding a cake task for this would mean adding Babel as a dependency, which might ignite a firestorm . . .

Maybe a recommended list of babel plugins to go after CoffeeScript 2 in the build pipeline, or even some kind of babel-preset-coffeescript would be useful?

I think coffeescript > babel-preset-env currently seems to be the best chain, so something like…

npm install --save-dev coffeescript@next babel-cli babel-preset-env
coffee -p *.coffee | babel --presets env
