Running babel on .coffee or js.coffee files

[thijsc]

Thanks for this amazing gem! Really helping us out. We ran into an issue, not sure if this is a bug of something we're misunderstanding:

We're running the React preset over all files like so:

{
  "presets": [
    "react",
    "es2015"
  ]
}

This works well for .js files written in ES2015, JSX segments get converted. For Coffeescript files (with both .js.coffee and .coffee extensions) the babel step isn't run. Is there a way to have Bable run after the Coffeescript files have been converted to normal Javascript by the asset pipeline?

I'm afraid this is not going to be supported, as it would break the workflow we're using at Shopify. I think you'll have to fork and fix the gem to make this work

I'll look into forking or alternative solutions to our problem then. Curious: What would break in your workflow?
