Haxe takes some templates to bin folder when it compiles. It process templates, replacing variables in it ::WIN_WIDTH:: with values 640. It can also take your custom templates like so:

<template path="your/template.txt" rename="tmpl.txt"/>

I would like to know is there any way to place your own variables ::myvar:: in those templates?

EDIT http://old.haxe.org/doc/cross/template - Unfortunately, that article only explains how to execute haxe.Template class instances. In the end you will get the string (your processed template).

What I want is to add my custom placeholders to default haxe templates, such as OpenFL Android project templates. I need Haxe to process it's templates WITH my own placeholders and outputs it in the bin folder, as usually does.

I had to figure it out the hard way, but it turns out that the <setenv> tag really works as advertised.

In project.xml:

<setenv name="MY_VAR" value="612" />

In template.txt:

::if ENV_MY_VAR::
    The value of MY_VAR is ::ENV_MY_VAR::.
::else::
    MY_VAR is not defined.
::end::

You could also define it as "myvar", but then you'd have to use "ENV_myvar" in template.txt.
