@:native metadata

Learn @:native metadata in Haxe through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.

12 min read • Advanced

@:native metadata is an atomic Haxe lesson inside Metaprogramming & Targets. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.

Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on @:native metadata rather than on generic Haxe syntax.

Topic-specific example

haxe-07-05.hx
haxe Try It Live
@:native("window.alert") extern class Alert { static function call(s:String):Void; } class Main { static function main(){ } }
Edge case / engineering note

Compile @:native metadata for at least one target and watch for target-specific behavior where the feature crosses a platform boundary.
