#Example Flask

This example is based upon a gist from Nadako (Dan Korostelev)

The code used in this example can be found here.

How to start

Create a folder named foobar (please use a better name; any name will do) and create folders bin and src. See example below:

+ foobar
	+ bin
	+ src
		- Main.hx
	- build.hxml

The Main.hx

Open your favorite editor, copy/paste the code and save it in the src folder.

import haxe.Constraints.Function;

@:pythonImport("flask", "Flask")
extern class Flask {
    function new(module:String);
    function run():Void;
    function route<T:Function>(path:String):T->T;
}

class Main {
    static function main() {
    	trace('Close server with CTRL + C');

        var app = new Flask(untyped __name__);
        app.route("/")(index);
        app.run();
    }

    static function index() {
        return "Hello, world!";
    }
}

The Haxe build file, build.hxml

There are a lot of different arguments that you are able to pass to the Haxe compiler. These arguments can also be placed into a text file of one per line with the extension hxml. This file can then be passed directly to the Haxe compiler as a build script.

# // build.hxml
-cp src
-main Main
-python bin/example.py
-dce full
-cmd cd bin
-cmd python3 example.py

Build Python with Haxe

To finish and see what we have, build the file and see the result

1. Open your terminal
2. cd to the correct folder where you have saved the build.hxml
3. type haxe build.hxml
4. press enter
