Usage ​

The Application component will create your PixiJS app and canvas for you.

All Vue3 Pixi elements should be children of Application.

Sprites ​

Sprite component requires a texture, which can be a Texture object or a path to an image.

PixiJS will load the texture in the background and show it when it’s ready - similar to how an img tag works.

Loader ​

If you have a bunch of images or other resources, you may wish to show a loading screen until all images have finished loading (rather than have them pop in one after another).

Note: You may want to enable network throttling in your browser dev tools to actually see the loading screen - these are small images!

You can have multiple Loader components as well, which could be useful if you wanted to render a fallbacks at a component-level instead.

Ticker ​

update loop for the application. The Application component will create one automatically, which means child components can hook into the loop with onTick.

Filter ​

To use filters, you need to add the filter as a child element to the element where you want to apply the filtering effect.

Render Events ​

all elements support render event, which allows for flexible manipulation of elements, For example, using on <grahpics /> and <particle-container />

This will set up a watchEffect internally that will automatically call the event handler again if any dependencies on the render method have changed.

Accessing PixiJS Instances ​

You can bind PixiJS instances through ref, It is like the HTML elements, so you can bind to it if you need to access it.

Using a Custom Instance ​

You can add custom PIXI instances to the renderer, if you have a custom class (whether that be your own or from a third-party library).

// main.js
import { Text } from 'pixi.js'
import { pathProp as defPathProp, renderer } from 'vue3-pixi'

class YellowText extends Text {
  constructor(text, style) {
    super(text, style)
    this.style.fill = 'yellow'
  }
}

renderer.use({
  name: 'YellowText',
  createElement: props => new YellowText(props.text, props.style),
  pathProp(el, key, prevValue, nextValue) {
    // handle special prop here..

    // or fallback to default
    return defPathProp(el, key, prevValue, nextValue)
  },
})
