# CafeScript
CafeScript is a node component driven preprocessor.
## Usage
CafeScript can be imported as a library that will run .cafe scripts and output them to `process.stdout` or installed globally and run as `$ cafe myfile.cafe`.
### Syntax
CafeScript .cafe files are simillar to .php files. CafeScript will preprocess the file running the JavaScript code between the `<$ $>` tags. The JavaScript has access to NodeJS globals as well as a print function. The print function prints to the output stream which defaults to stdout.
### Standard Out
```
// main.js
require('cafescript');
var script = require('./myscript.cafe');
script();
```
```
<$
var hello = 'Hello, World';
$>
<$ print(hello); $>
<$
// Include other scripts like this:
// var script = require('./other.cafe');
// script();
print('CafeScript');
$>
<$
// Use inline mode
$>
<$= 'hello' $>
```
### Middleware
CafeScript also exports a middleware function with the signature `function(req, res)` where `res` is an output stream the file will use as an output and `req` is an accesable global `request` in the script.
