loadFile, loadImage

Minimal utilities to load files and images, typically to initialize textures.

Usage

Creating a request to load images.

import {loadImage} from '@luma.gl.core';
const image = await loadImage('image1.png');
alert("images loaded! Now do something with the image");

Creating a request to load images and create WebGL textures

import {loadImage} from '@luma.gl.core';
const image = loadImage('image1.png');
const new Texture2D(gl, {data: image});

Creating a request object to a specific url and making the request. Note the send call at the end of the instanciation.

import {loadFile} from '@luma.gl.core';
// Using ES7 async/await
const text = await loadFile('/mydomain/somethingelse/');

loadImage(url : String [, options: Object]);

Enables loading of multiple remote images asynchronously and returns an array with all the images loaded.

const image = await loadImages(url, options);

url - (String) strings pointing to image url.

loadFile(url : String [, options: Object]);

Loads remote data asynchronously via an http request (fetch). On the browser, the domain serving the data must match the domain where the data is queried.
