js.html Extern Generator

This project generates Haxe externs based on WebIDL files. The WebIDL files and parser are owned by Mozilla.

Usage

You should have the Haxe repository in a directory named "haxe" next to this repo.

Run bin/generate to update the js.html externs on the Haxe repo. Run bin/validate to make sure the output compiles.

To update to Mozilla's latest APIs, run bin/update-mozilla and run generate again. You may also need to grab the latest WebIDL.py from https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/bindings/parser/WebIDL.py

To add a new API by hand, add it in a new .webidl file under the webidl/ directory.

Any hand-written Haxe files that should be merged with the final output should go in the haxe/ directory.

Haxe 3.2 API migration

Element was split into Element and DOMElement. Certain methods that return DOMElement may need to be coerced into an Element.

The following types from js.html have been removed, along with an explanation. Most of the changes are due to spec advances, and removal of Chrome-only APIs.
