How Do I Create A Named Function Expressions In CoffeeScript?

How do I create a named function expressions in CoffeeScript like the examples below? var a = function b (param1) {} or return function link (scope) {}

Solution 1:

I may be a bit late to the party, but I just realised that you actually create named functions when using the class keyword.

Example:

class myFunction
  # The functions actual code is wrapped in the constructor method
  constructor: ->
    console.log 'something'

console.log myFunction # -> function AppComponent() { ... }
myFunction() # -> 'something'

Solution 2:

Coffeescript doesn't support the latter (named functions), but the former can be achieved with

a = (param1) ->
    console.log param1
