Libraries

Using Libraries

Libraries have to be added in your project's khafile.js:

project.addLibrary("Kha2D");
project.addLibrary("zui");

Khamake will then search for these libraries in a folder inside of your project and in your local haxelib installation. When a specific library exists in both places, the library in the local subdirectory will be preferred.

Customize the local library directory

By default the local folder is Libraries. You can use project.localLibraryPath to set a different one before adding your libraries.

project.localLibraryPath = 'libs';

Creating Libraries

A library has it's own Sources folder where you can place Haxe sources. When your project also contains assets, it additionally needs a khafile.js (that is then merged with the project's khafile.js). When your project also contains native code, it needs a kincfile.js file.

A minimal example library that will bring up a sharing dialog on iOS/Android is available here.

Wrappers for native libraries

Some of these are ported from existing Haxe solutions(see repositories), some are made from scratch. A single library always aims to provide support for as much targets as possible while keeping the interface similar.
