Coffeescript property Error: Parse error on line 5: Unexpected '{

Question

I have this code in Coffeescript

window.App = new Backbone.Marionette.Application
Models: {}
Collections: {}
Views: {}
Views.Layouts: {}
Routers: {}

And I'm trying to get this javascript code

window.App = new Backbone.Marionette.Application({
Models: {},
Collections: {},
Views: {},
Views.Layouts: {},
Routers: {}
});

I get this error: Error: Parse error on line 5: Unexpected '{

The first thing I'm noticing is that the fifth line has a . in it; the others don't. — Robert Harvey

It doesn't like the period, but I'm not sure why: coffeescript.org/… — asawyer

I think this is what you're trying to do:

window.App = new Backbone.Marionette.Application
  Models: {}
  Collections: {}
  Views: 
      Layouts: {}
  Routers: {}
