Git'em All!

Install Haxe libraries with git.

Until there is a Haxe library manager that does proper version locking (as in CocoaPods or Yarn), I prefer checking-in all my haxelibs in my project's git as submodules.

Install

haxelib --global install gitemall

Usage

haxelib --global run gitemall [hxml]

Quick Start

0. Create a directory: mkdir my_new_proj
1. Initialize Git: cd my_new_proj && git init
2. Write a hxml file: echo "-main Main -js bin/index.js -lib tink_web -lib buddy" > build.hxml
3. Git'em All!!! haxelib --global run gitemall (Be prepared to input urls manually when they can't be found)

Explained

This little program will do the following things:

0. Create folder .haxelib & haxelib, if not yet exist
1. Parse the hxml in current directory
2. For each dependencies, git submodule add it.
3. Install the libraries by specifying the path in haxelib/libname/.dev
4. Find haxelib.json in the libraries and parse it. Goto Step 3.
5. Run git submodule update --init --recursive, to fetch all submodules reference by the libraries
6. Done

If the url of a library is not found (e.g. not yet published to lib.haxe.org), it will prompt for user input.
