Automatic compiler for Haxe and other tools. Monitors the files in your project and regen the output whenever it detects a change.
Currently tested on Ubuntu and OSX, not tested on Windows.
haxelib install livehaxe
To launch livehaxe just execute the following command from your terminal (not tested on Windows):
haxelib run livehaxe -haxe build.hxml
Livehaxe will start the haxe compiler in server mode, scan all the -cp contained in your hxml and update your build whenever one of the .hx files in your project is modified.
Livehaxe can also be used to compile LESS files, just add:
-less src.less dst.css
If you would like to display a replacement page, you can add
-errorpage out/index.html
This will place a HTML file in "out/index.html" while the build is running, which will refresh automatically until the build is finished. If the build fails, it will update the html file with a list of errors. If the build succeeds, the html page will be removed.
Multiple hxml and LESS files can be monitored at once.
