Learn how Haxe’s #if/#else directives let you write platform‑specific code while keeping a single source file, with a concrete file‑system wrapper example and practical checks.
Haxe's #if directives strip code before type checking, making them ideal for dependency management but risky for divergent logic. Learn where conditional compilation fits and when to use target-specific classes instead.
Learn how to use Haxe’s #if directives and -D flags to keep one codebase that compiles cleanly for JS, HXCPP, and other targets. Follow a step‑by‑step guide to set up flags, write platform‑specific blocks, verify builds, and avoid common pitfalls.
Haxe compiles one codebase to many targets, but platform APIs differ. Learn when to use #if conditionals, custom -D flags, or separate modules—and how to verify each build.
Learn how to structure a Haxe library so a pure‑Haxe core runs unchanged on JavaScript, Python, and the JVM, with thin extern adapters behind conditional compilation and a single facade.
Learn how Haxe abstract types give you strong typing for primitives like metres or seconds without any runtime overhead, with a worked example and verification steps.
SDL_GameController replaces per-vendor joystick remapping with a normalized button and axis model. Here is how the mapping database works, where it breaks, and how to verify your setup.
Quasar compiles one Vue 3 codebase into SPA, PWA, SSR, Electron, Capacitor, and browser extension builds. Here's how the platform isolation model works and where it breaks.
Use npm scripts for lightweight, cross‑platform build automation. Compare npm scripts to external tools, evaluate trade‑offs, and see a concrete TypeScript build example with validation steps.
