Hello world
Developing JavaScript code is easy with Haxe. Let's see our first HelloWorld example :
class Test {
static function main() {
trace("Hello World !");
}
}
Put this class into a file named Test.hx and create the file compile.hxml in the same directory with the following content:
-js test.js
-main Test
To compile open you terminal and type:
cd
And drag the folder where you saved the files, into the terminal. It will look something like this:
cd /path/to/folder/
Press enter and type:
haxe compile.hxml
If an error occurs, the terminal will display that.
If everything went smoothly like it should, this will produce a test.js file that can be embedded into an HTML page such as this one :
<html>
<head><title>Haxe JS</title></head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
- Put this code into a
test.htmlfile. - Open it with your browser (like Google Chrome)
- It will display Hello World in your Console.

try.haxe
If you want to experiment with this code, you can do that without installing Haxe.
Below you can see and try the same example code at try.haxe.org without installing Haxe.
