[haXe] best strategy to port an existing js library

[Danny Wilson]

Let's do some proper haXe magic here:

class MyWrappingClass
{
   static function __init__()
   {
     untyped MyWrappingClass.prototype.niceAlert = __js__("niceAlert");
   }

   public function niceAlert(txt:String); // Returns void
   public function  
someOtherFunctionWhichReturnsSomething(txt:String):ReturnType
   {return null;} // To trick haxe compiler :-(
}

That should work fairly well...

Or maybe you could just wrap the functions in a javascript class (not  
haxe), then write an extern class definition in haxe.

Also take a look at:

Kind regards,
