[haXe] best strategy to port an existing js library

[Franco Ponticelli]

There is no loader and I doubt you need one since you can include your JS
library just before the haXe generated file.
About wrapping you can use both extern or typedef depending on what you are
implementing.
In your case the extern could be the right solution.

extern HelloClass {
  public function new() : Void;
  public function showText() : String;
}

Pay attention to the case of fields that in haXe must start with a lower
case letter. This can be origin to incompabilities.

Regards,
Franco.
