@luma.gl/constants

Through v8, the luma.gl API was utilizing GL constants to specify parameters, formats etc. However starting from v9, the API will accept WebGPU-style strings instead, reducing the need for importing the @luma.gl/constants module

Provides a (big) enum GL that contains all static WebGL constants (aka OpenGL constants).

While these constants are exposed on the WebGLRenderingContext instance, it is often convenient to be able to reference them in code that does not have access to a WebGL context.
Also, a range of constants provided by this module are not available on the WebGL context itself, but most be retrieved from dynamically queried extension objects.

Usage

import GL from '@luma.gl/constants';
const type = GL.POINTS;

Bundle Size Considerations

Including a big set of constants does add to your applications bundle size. luma.gl offers a babel plugin that can inline the constants, typically resulting in smaller bundle size than if you used built-in gl.<constants> directly.
