Haxe type definitions for [electron](https://electronjs.org/), a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

[![test](https://github.com/tong/hxelectron/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/tong/hxelectron/actions/workflows/test.yml) [![Haxelib Version](https://img.shields.io/github/tag/tong/hxelectron.svg?style=flat-square&colorA=EA8220&colorB=FBC707&label=haxelib)](http://lib.haxe.org/p/electron/)

## Install

Release version

```sh

haxelib install electron

```

Development version

```sh

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

```

---

## Generate Type Definitions

All type definitions are generated from [electron-api.json](electron-api.json) by [ElectronAPI.hx](ElectronAPI.hx).  

To (re)generate for another electron version download the description file from https://github.com/electron/electron/releases and run:

```sh

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

```

Build `haxedoc.xml` to insure everything is fine:

```sh

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).
