+# Apache Royale Compiler
+
+Turn your source code into one or more compiled outputs
+
+Royale provide a compiler and a command-line debugger to turn your source code
into the required output. The compiler takes [AS3](features/as3) &
[MXML](features/mxml) (and CSS) as inputs.
+
+The main output of the compiler is **JavaScript** (some call it a transpiler
or cross-compiler). The compiler can also output **SWFs** for the **Adobe
Flash** runtimes. There is some initial work on **Web Assembly** output.
+
+> The compiler has been designed to make it relatively straightforward to add
additional output formats.
+
+The code is based on the ActionScript Compiler 2.0 donated to Apache by Adobe.
The SWF output was pretty much working at the time of donation. The JavaScript
output code is a new implementation by Apache committers
+
+## User Guide
+
+The Royale Compiler does many things besides compile **MXML** and
**ActionScript** into **JavaScript** and/or **SWF**. But if that's all you want
to do, you can use the compiler with **Apache Maven**, **Apache Ant**, several
**IDEs**, **NPM** and the command-line. Below are some pointers to getting
started:
+
+### Apache Maven
+
+There are some examples in the `apache/royale-asjs` repo in the `examples`
folder. The `pom.xml` files should be useful as a starting point. There are
also **Maven archetypes** available in Apache Royale releases.
+
+### Apache Ant
+
+In an Apache Royale distribution, there is a `compiler-royaleTasks.jar` in the
`js/lib` folder that contains Ant tasks for the Royale Compiler. There is an
mxmlc task for creating applications and a compc task for creating libraries.
+
+### IDEs
+
+Consult your IDE documentation for how to launch the Royale Compiler. You can
generate a IDE distribution from Apache Maven and/or Apache ANT.
+
+### NPM
+
+You should be able to run `mxmlc` or `compc` from the command-line after
installing Royale via NPM. Use `mxmlc --help` to see the latest list of options.
+
+### Command-line
+
+The `js/bin` folder should contain `mxmlc` and `compc` scripts that will
launch the compiler. Use `mxmlc --help` to see the latest list of options.
+
+## Compiler Options
+
+Royale provide several compiler options to customize the use. You can check
the list of compiler options here:
+
+- [Compiler Options](compiler/compiler-options)
+
+> To read about how to contribute to Apache Royale Compiler use the following
[Apache Royale Compiler Developer
Guide](https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/wiki/Developer-Guide)
available on the Apache Royale Compiler Wiki.

+# Compiler Options
+
+List of Available Compiler Options
+
+Royale provide the following list of compiler options
+
+## JavaScript Compiler Options
+
+### html-output-filename
+
+Specifies the file name of the HTML file generated by the compiler to load the
Apache Royale application in the browser.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.html-output-filename custom.html
+```
+
+### html-template
+
+Specifies the path to an optional template for the the HTML file generated by
the compiler to load the Apache Royale application in the browser.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.html-template ./path/to/template.html
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<htmlTemplate>${basedir}/target/javascript/bin/js-debug/jewel-example-index-template.html</htmlTemplate>
+```
+
+### js-compiler-option
+
+Specifies one or more custom compiler options to pass to the Google Closure
Compiler, which is used to create the release build of an Apache Royale
application.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.js-compiler-option.variable_map_output_file gccvars.txt
-compiler.compilation_level SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<additionalCompilerOptions>-js-compiler-option=--variable_map_output_file
gccvars.txt;-js-compiler-option+=--property_map_output_file
gccprops.txt</additionalCompilerOptions>
+```
+
+### js-default-initializers
+
+Defaults to true. Enables or disables initialization of primitive (Number,
Boolean, etc.) variables with default values in the generated JavaScript.
Corresponds to AVM runtime implicit type intialization values.
+
+Note that some reflection utility functions require this to be true in order
for them to work correctly in javascript.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.js-default-initializers
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<additionalCompilerOptions>-js-default-initializers=true;</additionalCompilerOptions>
+```
+
+### js-define
+
+Defines a global constant at compile time for the JavaScript output. May be a
boolean, number, string, or expression.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.js-define CONFIG::debugging true -compiler.js-define CONFIG::release
false
+```
+
+For boolean and numeric values, you may pass in literals like true, false, or
123. String values must be formatted with nested quotes, like "'hello'",
because the compiler will attempt to evaluate an expression when it encounters
quotes.
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<defines>
+ <property>
+ <name>BUILD::buildNumber</name>
+ <value>'"${buildTimestamp}"'</value>
+ </property>
+ <property>
+ <name>BUILD::buildVersion</name>
+ <value>'"${project.version}"'</value>
+ </property>
+</defines>
+```
+
+Then in AS3 you can do:
+
+```as3
+// Build Number
+private static var _buildNumber :String = BUILD::buildNumber;
+
+// Project Version
+private static var _projectVersion :String = BUILD::buildVersion;
+```
+
+### js-load-config
+
+Specifies the locations of XML configuration files that define extra compiler
options for JavaScript output.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.js-load-config path/to/project-config.xml
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+### js-output
+
+The path where the generated JavaScript output should be saved, if output is
also being used for the .swf output path.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.js-output path/to/output
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+Use instead `outputDirectory`in `configuration` xml node
+
+### remove-circulars
+
+Tells the Apache Royale compiler to remove circular dependencies in the
generated JavaScript, where possible.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.remove-circulars
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<removeCirculars>true</removeCirculars>
+```
+
+### source-map
+
+Emits source maps in the debug build for each ActionScript file. The default
value is false.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.source-map
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<additionalCompilerOptions>-source-map=true;</additionalCompilerOptions>
+```
+
+### targets
+
+Specifies the target format of the code generated by the Apache Royale
compiler. Multiple targets may be specified.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.targets JSRoyale,SWF
+```
+
+The following values for "targets" are supported:
+
+- "JSRoyale"
+- "JS"
+- "JSNode"
+- "JSNodeModule"
+- "SWF"
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<targets>JSRoyale</targets>
+```
+
+### warn-public-vars
+
+Enables or disables warnings about using public variables.
+
+```sh
+-compiler.warn-public-vars
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<additionalCompilerOptions>-warn-public-vars=true;</additionalCompilerOptions>
+```
+
+### show-binding-warnings
+
+Set to false to remove all binding warnings
+
+```sh
+-compiler.show-binding-warnings=false
+```
+
+#### Maven configuration:
+
+```xml
+<additionalCompilerOptions>-show-binding-warnings=false;</additionalCompilerOptions>
+```
