ShaderCache (Experimental)

A cache of compiled shaders, keyed by shader source strings. Compilation of long shaders can be time consuming. By using a ShaderCache, the application can ensure that each shader is only compiled once.

Usage

import {_ShaderCache as ShaderCache} from '@luma.gl/core';

Methods

constructor

Creates a new ShaderCache object.

new ShaderCache(gl)

Note that only objects from a single context can be cached, any attempts to use this cache with other gl contexts will result in exceptions.

delete

ShaderCache.delete()

Hint to delete any unused cached shaders (currently a no-op).

getVertexShader

Returns a compiled VertexShader object corresponding to the supplied GLSL source code string, if possible from cache.

ShaderCache.getVertexShader(gl, source)

gl {WebGLRenderingContext} - gl context
source {String} - Source code for shader returns {VertexShader} - a compiled vertex shader

getFragmentShader

Returns a compiled FragmentShader object corresponding to the supplied GLSL source code string, if possible from cache.

ShaderCache.getFragmentShader(gl, source)

gl {WebGLRenderingContext} - gl context
source {String} - Source code for shader returns {FragmentShader} - a compiled fragment shader
