Haxe - The Cross-Platform Toolkit

haxe-npm

Installation

If you have the node package manager, npm, installed:

npm install -g haxe

Leave off the -g if you don't wish to install globally.

Getting Started

Execute a script:

haxe --help

Compile a script: Developing Javascript code is really easy with Haxe. Let's see our first HelloWorld example :

class Test {
    static function main() {
        trace("Hello World !");
    }
}

Put this class into a file named Test.hx and create the file compile.hxml in the same directory with the following content :

-js test.js
-main Test

To compile, run the command :

haxe compile.hxml

Using package.json

Create a simple file package.json at the root of your project and add dependencies to haxe and haxelibs
