# 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Install hxnodejs with `haxelib install hxnodejs` (released version) or `haxelib git hxnodejs https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxnodejs` (latest from GitHub).
 | 
						|
2. Write some code and save to `Main.hx`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```haxe
 | 
						|
    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");
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3. 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)
 | 
						|
4. Look at generated `main.js`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```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();
 | 
						|
    })({});
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
5. You're awesome! (See more [examples](examples))
