What Haxelib is

Haxelib is the library manager included with Haxe distributions, connecting developers to a central repository for finding, installing, and submitting libraries. Its command line can install the latest released library version or a specified version, and can install dependencies listed in an HXML file or across HXML files in the current directory. Search finds projects by words in their names or descriptions. The info command displays a project’s owner, license, description, website, tags, current version, and release notes. Developers can submit ZIP packages or directories. Haxelib also works with Git and Mercurial repositories, including private libraries not posted to Haxelib, and can use a local repository drawing on libraries in the current project directory. Installed libraries can be exposed to the Haxe compiler with `--library` or `-L`. It supports dependency resolution, offline installation, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can configure an HTTP proxy or a custom server. Libraries are free; the Haxelib repository is a public HaxeFoundation project licensed under MIT.

Good

  • Installs latest or specified library versions.
  • Resolves dependencies from HXML files.
  • Supports offline installation.
  • Works with private Git and Mercurial libraries.
  • Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Watch out

  • HAXELIB_NO_SSL can switch the client to HTTP.
  • Libraries are distributed as source code by default.

Who it suits

Haxelib suits Haxe developers who need to install, manage, or share libraries from the command line. It also accommodates developers using private Git or Mercurial libraries, local repositories, or offline installation.

Verdict

Haxelib brings library retrieval, dependency handling, and sharing into the Haxe command-line workflow. Its support for private repositories and offline installs may suit projects beyond the central repository.
