Connect Haxe SDK

This is a version of the SDK for CloudBlue Connect platform, written in Haxe. While it allows to write connectors in Haxe itself, the generated code can be used in other languages:

• C#.
• Java.
• JavaScript.
• PHP.
• Python.

Documentation on how to use the SDK is available here.

Building

In order to compile the SDK, you must have Haxe 4.0 or higher installed on your machine. On Debian-based Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu and Mint, Haxe can be installed by typing the following on a terminal:

$ sudo apt install haxe

Haxelib and Neko are installed by default (you need Neko to run the unit tests) with this procedure. At the time of writing this README, Haxe 4.0 has not yet been published to the official repositories nor Haxe's PPA, so in the meantime you'll have to follow the installation instructions on the Haxe webpage. Using this procedure, Neko has to be installed separately.

You need to install some libraries to build the SDK using Haxelib:

$ haxelib install dox
$ haxelib install hxcs
$ haxelib install hxjava
$ haxelib install hxnodejs
$ haxelib install munit

To build the SDK for all the available targets, type the following on a terminal:

$ haxe package.hxml

Examples

Examples require you to open the "examples/config.json" file and provide valid credentials.

To run an example written in Haxe, type:

$ haxe example.hxml

This translates the file examples/Example.hx to PHP and runs it.

To run examples written in Java, JavaScript, PHP or Python, respectively run the following on a terminal:

$ ./example_cs.sh
$ ./example_java.sh
$ ./example_js.sh
$ ./example_php.sh
$ ./example_py.sh

The Python version automatically creates a Python3 virtual environment with venv on the _build dir.

If you want to run all the examples, run:

$ ./run_examples.sh

Generating docs and running tests

To generate the documentation, type:

$ haxe doc.hxml

Documentation with be generated in the doc folder.

To run the unit tests on Haxe's builtin interpreter, type:

$ haxelib run munit test -neko

To run the unit tests on all supported platforms, type:

$ haxelib run munit test -cs -java -js -php -python

To enable code coverage reporting, just add -coverage to the previous command. Right now, it does not work on JavaScript.
