# OpenFL custom _ApplicationMain.hx_ template

The [OpenFL](https://openfl.org) library for Haxe contains a number of template files that are used when building a project. You can find them in the [_assets/templates_](https://github.com/openfl/openfl/tree/develop/assets/templates) directory. Using the `` element in _project.xml_, it's possible to replace one or more of these template files with custom versions, on a per-project basis, and without forking OpenFL.

This sample project contains a directory named [_custom-templates_](https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-custom-app-main-sample/tree/main/custom-templates). It is configured in [_project.xml_](https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-custom-app-main-sample/tree/main/project.xml) like this:

```xml

```

Inside [_custom-templates_](https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-custom-app-main-sample/tree/main/custom-templates), there's a file at [_haxe/ApplicationMain.hx_](https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-custom-app-main-sample/tree/main/custom-templates/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx). The relative path to this file matches the file named [_haxe/ApplicationMain.hx_](https://github.com/openfl/openfl/tree/develop/assets/templates/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx) inside OpenFL's [_assets/templates_](https://github.com/openfl/openfl/tree/develop/assets/templates) directory.

The custom [_haxe/ApplicationMain.hx_](https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-custom-app-main-sample/tree/main/custom-templates/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx) template file contains several `trace()` calls during the OpenFL initialization process. To confirm that the custom [_haxe/ApplicationMain.hx_](https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-custom-app-main-sample/tree/main/custom-templates/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx) is being used by the project, compile and run, and check the debug console for output.

```sh

openfl test html5

```

This custom [_haxe/ApplicationMain.hx_](https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-custom-app-main-sample/tree/main/custom-templates/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx) is a simplified version of the default one used by OpenFL. It doesn't create a preloader or load any assets, and it removes the macros that enable some more advanced features that most projects don't need.
