Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

npm-haxe v5

TravisCI Build Status AppVeyor Build Status dependencies Status

Installs Haxe using Node Package Manager aka npm

WARNING : The version contains breaking changes from npm-haxe v4

Key-features

  • Global or per-project, sandboxed, standard Haxe installation
  • Includes Haxelib
  • Includes Neko
  • Support both Haxelib and NPM dependencies
  • Tested on Ubuntu/Linux and Windows

Usage

CLI installation

npm install haxe

By default, this will make haxe and haxelib available to npm scripts only, with haxelib repository sandboxed to your current working directory.

To have haxe and haxelib commands available globally, use the -g flag. This will also make the haxelib repo global.

Package.json sample

{
  "scripts":{
    "postinstall": "haxelib --always install build.hxml",
    "build": "haxe build.hxml"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "haxe": "^5.0.0" // the npm haxe module
  },
 "haxeDependencies": {
   "haxe": "3.4.7", // haxe version
   "haxelib": "3.3.0", // haxelib version
   "neko": "2.2.0", // neko version
   "pixijs": "4.5.5", // additionnal haxelib dependency
   "tamina": "git+https://github.com/damoebius/taminahx.git" //haxelib git dependency
 }
}

Please notice the --always flag in the haxelib command, to avoid having to confirm haxelibs installation.

Running Haxe from NodeJS

This package also comes with the minimal bindings to run the Haxe compiler from NodeJS.

var haxe = require('haxe').haxe;
var haxelib = require('haxe').haxelib;

// all commands return a ChildProcess instance

haxe( "-version" );
haxelib( "install", "hxnodejs" );

var server = haxe("--wait", "6000");

Configuration options

The following configuration options can be set in your package.json.

Please note they must be set before installing the package.

"haxeDependencies": {
   "haxe": "3.4.7",
   "haxelib": "3.3.0",
   "neko": "2.2.0",
   "pixijs": "4.5.5",
   "perfjs": "1.1.18"
 }

Version

See Haxe Download list. Please notice the directory name in the archive must match.

In this case, the haxeDependencies.haxe value is still used, and must match the one of the directory extracted from the archive.

Haxelib

haxeDependencies.haxelib must match a release from the official Haxelib repo

Known issues

The package relies on the node command, which [has issues on some Ubuntu versions] (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21168141/cannot-install-packages-using-node-package-manager-in-ubuntu).

If you get an error similar to this :

sh: 1: node: not found
npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
npm WARN For further explanations, please read /usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian

Just install the nodejs-legacy package:

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
