I have tried to setup the plugin and have run into a few issues.

1. How do you update the version after initial install? I tried running install again and it doesn't make the change. I had to delete my node_modules and then it reinstalled.
2. I can't seem to get specific development build versions to work. Not sure if I am configuring it correctly though.
3. How do I setup the haxelibs to install to a local folder rather than globally?

I am running windows 10, node 12.

Thanks!

I'm seeing the same thing.

I think the issue may have something to do with npm not seeing any changes, because it's probably only looking at dependencies and not haxeDependencies.

But, I've got a solution for you @cmandlbaur.
Simply create a postinstall script within your package.json and then call into the haxe node_module and trigger a haxe npm install script.

"scripts": {
    "postinstall": "npm run installHaxeLibs",
    "installHaxeLibs": "cd ./node_modules/haxe/ && npm install"
},

1. Never try to update, i think this feature isn't supported actually. Delete the node_modules folder is a workaround. I'll add this on my todo list.
2. Could you be more precise ?
3. I don't understand. Libs are located into your project node_modules folder no ?

Sorry for the late reply!

1. Is this something I can help with?
2. We are currently using rc4, there was a nightly build version we wanted to use, but have since requested an additonal rc(rc5). In future it would handy to be able to target a specific development version. One of these: https://build.haxe.org/builds/haxe/windows/
3. I clearly misunderstood. If they are available in the local node_modules, thats perfect.

1 : Sure :) But i don't know how to do it. There's no update hook in NPM...
2 : Good idea
3 : 👍
