vite-plugin-haxe

Lets you run Haxe code in your Vite project. Supports client-side javascript currently.

Installation & Configuration

Prerequisites: Haxe and Node.js. npm is gladly substituted for pnpm.

Open a terminal in your project folder and execute this:

npm create vite@latest my-haxe-app --template vanilla
cd my-haxe-app
npm install
npm install -D vite-plugin-haxe

Add a vite.config.js:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import haxe from "vite-plugin-haxe";

/** @type {import('vite').UserConfig} */
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [haxe()],
});

Add/edit the following files:

main.js

import "./style.css";
import "./main.hxml";

main.hxml

-cp src
-main Main
-dce full

# -js isn't needed, but helpful for IDE's.
-js main.js

-D source-map-content
-debug

src/Main.hx

package;

import js.Browser.document;
import js.html.ButtonElement;

class Main {
  static function main() {
    document.getElementById('app')
      .innerHTML = '
    <div>

    </p>
  </div>
  ';

    Counter.setupCounter(cast(document.querySelector('#counter'), ButtonElement));
  }
}

class Counter {
  public static function setupCounter(element:ButtonElement) {
    var counter = 0;
    final setCounter = (count:Int) -> {
      counter = count;
      element.innerHTML = 'count is $counter';
    }
    element.addEventListener('click', () -> setCounter(counter + 1));
    setCounter(0);
  }
}

Start the fun with npm run dev.
