hxextern

hxextern is an extern manager.

It's currently a WIP project and is not suitable for production usage.

Installation

haxelib --global git hxextern https://github.com/ExternKit/hxextern.git develop

Usage

haxelib run hxextern <command> [options...]

Supported targets

hxextern can hypothetically support all Haxe targets. When a reference to a target is asked the following can be used:

• cpp or c++: C++
• cs or csharp: C#
• flash: Flash
• js or javascript: Javascript
• lua: Lua
• neko or n: Neko
• php: PHP
• py or python: Python

Finding externs

You can list all available externs with:

haxelib run hxextern list

Are for a specific target by specifying it after. eg:

haxelib run hxextern list js

You can also search an extern by its name. eg:

haxelib run hxextern search aws

You can also filter the search for a specific target. eg:

haxelib run hxextern search aws js

Generating externs

hxextern provides some tools to make it easier for you to auto-generate your externs. The generation is made by defining one or multiple steps to be ran by hxextern.

The generation configuration should go on a JSON file. Using haxelib.json for this IS a good idea.

You can launch the generation with the generate command.

If you don't specify any path, it will search the first available haxelib.json file from the working directory to root directory.

haxelib run hxextern generate

You can also specify a direct path to an haxelib.json file

haxelib run hxextern generate /my/path/haxelib.json
