Calamari

Calamari is a (work in progress) project management utility for Haxe. It helps manage libraries and Haxe compiler arguments.

Originally created for building Cuttlefish, it will be able to be used for other projects as well.

Project File

Calamari uses a JSON file to define project settings. When you run calamari, it will look upwards through directories until it finds one that has one or more files with a .calamari extension. If it finds more than one, and by default it will check if there is a file named project.calamari to use, otherwise it will fail. If you have multiple project files in a directory, you can specify which project file to use with the --project option. You can provide a full file path, relative file path, or just a file name. If you just provide the file name, it will do the same upwards search until it finds a file with the name you gave.

The src/ProjectFile.hx file documents most of the options you can configure, but here are some of the important ones:

• projectName: the name of the project
• mainClass: the main class file, same as --main in hxml
• classPaths: an array of folders to include in compilation. same as having a --class-path arg for each entry

There are more things you can change, including per-target settings, custom flags, etc. which are somewhat documented in the source file.

Completions

Calamari supports tab completions in zsh and bash. adding the following to your .zshrc or .bashrc should allow completions/suggestions to show up:

source $(calamari -setup)

kind of jank until i find a better way to do it (also i only tested them on zsh)
