Shadow Code

An implementation of the Monaco Editor (using monaco-vscode-api) into a webview with functionality for the Haxe Language Server and local workspaces.

Building The Client

The editor is written in JS because that's what Monaco Editor uses. It's source can be found in the client subbmodule. It uses Vite Build so you need to have npm installed to build it. You can also use bun if you're a freaky enough with JS shtuff

cd client
npm install
npm run build

Or with bun (you freak)

cd client
bun install
bun run build

The output will automatically overwrite the compiled source in the shadowcode folder which is embedded into the compiled haxe binary and loaded through the webview.

Building & Bundling The Haxe Language Server

Haxe Language Server is written in Haxe (wow) then compiled to nodejs. We also bundle it into a binary to avoid requiring nodejs as a dependency when running a release build.

Building

I have no fucking clue how to build that shit it always gave me errors so I just copied the language server from the vscode extension 🙏

But generally it should be like this:

First clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/vshaxe/haxe-language-server
cd haxe-language-server

Then create a newrepo inside of it so the libraries aren't downloaded globally but inside of a local .haxelib folder using:

haxelib newrepo

Then install the libraries using the state file:

haxelib state load install.hxml

Then finally run the build

haxe build.hxml

If it compiled for you then congrats the output should supposedly be in haxe-language-server/bin/server.js relative to the build.hxml. You might want to move it to language-servers/haxe/server.js on the ShadowCode source.

Bundling

We prebuild the compiled server.js into x64_86 and arm64 binaries using the npm @yao-pkg/pkg for Windows, Linux and Mac.

If you want to update the language server or build for armv7 then follow the build instructions below.

First you must install the pkg library globally

npm install -g @yao-pkg/pkg

Then you may bundle it for the following targets:

Windows

pkg language-servers/haxe/server.js --targets node22-win-x64 --output bin/win/haxe-language-server-x64
pkg language-servers/haxe/server.js --targets node22-win-arm64 --output bin/win/haxe-language-server-arm64

Linux

pkg language-servers/haxe/server.js --targets node22-linuxstatic-x64 --output bin/linux/haxe-language-server-x64
pkg language-servers/haxe/server.js --targets node22-linuxstatic-arm64 --output bin/linux/haxe-language-server-arm64
pkg language-servers/haxe/server.js --targets node22-linuxstatic-armv7 --output bin/linux/haxe-language-server-armv7

macOS

pkg language-servers/haxe/server.js --targets node22-macos-x64 --output bin/mac/haxe-language-server-x64
pkg language-servers/haxe/server.js --targets node22-macos-arm64 --output bin/mac/haxe-language-server-arm64

NOTE

The output MUST be on the bin folder so the haxe macro can pick it up when building the app. you may compile the server from a different source path but we drop it inside of language-servers/haxe/server.js.

Building The App

It's just a haxe C++ app so just make sure you have haxe, hxcpp and the target's required compiling stuff

You need to install hxwebview through

haxelib install hxwebview

Then just run the build commad:

Windows

haxe build-win.hxml

The exe will be found in ./export/win/Main.exe alongside it the required binaries are WebView2Loader.dll and bin/haxe-language-server.exe

Linux

TBD

OSX
