Haxe Node.JS

Extern type definitions for Node.JS. Haxe 3.4 or newer is required.

Haxe-generated API documentation is available at http://haxefoundation.github.io/hxnodejs/js/Node.html.

Original node.js documentation can be found at http://nodejs.org/api/index.html.

Features

Full node.js API with documentation.
Strict typing for everything, fully leveraging Haxe type system.
Optionally typed event listeners.
Automatic insert of "require" statements for used modules.
Clean output.

Quick example

Install hxnodejs with haxelib install hxnodejs (released version) or haxelib git hxnodejs https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxnodejs (latest from GitHub).

Write some code and save to Main.hx:

class Main {
    static function main() {
        var server = js.node.Net.createServer(function(socket) {
            socket.write("Echo server\n\n");
            socket.pipe(socket);
        });
        server.listen(1337, "127.0.0.1");
    }
}

Compile it with with haxe -lib hxnodejs -main Main -js main.js (optionally add -D js-es=6 for cleaner JavaScript output, since node.js is ES6-compliant)

Look at generated main.js:

// Generated by Haxe 4.0.0-rc.2+63144f6db
(function ($global) { "use strict";
class Main {
    static main() {
        var server = js_node_Net.createServer(function(socket) {
            socket.write("Echo server\n\n");
            socket.pipe(socket);
        });
        server.listen(1337,"127.0.0.1");
    }
}
var js_node_Net = require("net");
Main.main();
})({});
