DiscordHx

This is, as you already know if you read the description, a pack of externs to use DiscordJS with Haxe.

History

Haxe is a strict meta language. That means you can code in Haxe and compile your code in other languages such as JavaScript. So I decided to create a bot using the DiscordJS library and Haxe. But this language has a strict compiler, and you can't just go "Yeah, instanciate Discord.Client, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!". You have to explain him how to work with the library using externs.

Externs

Externs are a bridge between a Haxe code and a code in another language. It's a tool you can use as an interface to introduce an external library to Haxe. It works just like any other interface, except it's called an extern because it's interfacing something external (like the DiscordJS library). More info

Installation

You can either set DiscordHx as a dependency in your package.json, or you can clone this repository and execute npm install.

Now, you need to go in the test folder and make a copy of AuthDetails_example.hx that you will name AuthDetails.hx. Open this file and fill it with your Discord API credentials.

Then, you can run either npm run test:ping or npm run test:avatar from the root folder to compile the ping example bot, or the avatar example bot. *.js files will be in the out folder. All that you need to do is run node out/ping.js or node out/avatar.js, and a bot will be launched.
