Anonymous types

Learn Anonymous types in Haxe through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.

12 min read • Intermediate

Anonymous types is an atomic Haxe lesson inside Type System. 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 Anonymous types rather than on generic Haxe syntax.

Topic-specific example

haxe-05-04.hx
haxe Try It Live 
class Main { static function label(x:{id:Int,name:String}) return x.id+":"+x.name; static function main(){ trace(label({id:7,name:"Ava"})); } }
Edge case / engineering note

Compile Anonymous types for at least one target and watch for target-specific behavior where the feature crosses a platform boundary.
