Overview

luma.gl is packaged and published as a suite of composable npm modules, so that applications can choose what functionality they need.

Module	Usage	Description
`@luma.gl/core`	Required	The "Abstract" `Device` API (implemented by both the `webgpu` and `webgl` modules).
`@luma.gl/webgl`	Required *	`Device` adapter implemented using the WebGPU API. Enables creation of WebGPU resources
`@luma.gl/webgpu`	Required *	`Device` adapter implemented using the WebGL API. Enables creation of WebGL resources.
`@luma.gl/engine`	Recommended	A set of WebGPU/WebGL independent core 3D engine style classes built on top of `@luma.gl/core`.
`@luma.gl/shadertools`	Recommended	System for modularizing and composing shader code, shader module system, transpiler, shader modules.
`@luma.gl/experimental`	Optional	Contains Scenegraph, glTF loader, GPU algorithms, VR classes etc.
`@luma.gl/test-utils`	Optional	Test setups, in particular support for rendering and comparing images.

* At least one backend, either WebGL or WebGPU, must be installed to enable GPU resource creation.

luma.gl also includes some legacy modules that should be avoided in new applications.

Legacy Module	Status	Description	Replacement
`@luma.gl/constants`	Deprecated	WebGL constants.	No longer used in luma.gl v9.
