HXElectron

Haxe type definitions for electron, a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Install

Release version

haxelib install electron

Development version

haxelib git electron https://github.com/tong/hxelectron.git

Generate Type Definitions

All type definitions are generated from electron-api.json by ElectronAPI.hx.
To (re)generate for another electron version download the description file from https://github.com/electron/electron/releases and run:

haxe --macro ElectronAPI.generate("optional/path/to/electron-api.json")

Build haxedoc.xml to insure everything is fine:

haxe haxedoc.hxml

By default hxelectron/electron-api.json is used if you ommit the path argument to your custom description file.

Metadata

The haxe externs are attributed with following metadata:

• @:electron_platforms(["Linux"|"macOS"|"Windows"]) the supporting platforms (only if specific).
