Using PIXI Projection with ES6

[charlie_says]

I was just trying some experiments with PIXI Projection, but am not able to get it working...

I think it could be to do with the imports, I know I had to do something a little different than I expected with PIXI.Sound

Can anyone give me any pointers?

(trying this as an import:

import * as Projection from 'pixi-projection'

gives this error:

TypeError: PIXI.BatchShaderGenerator is not a constructor )

Thanks!

you need latest development version of pixi, pixijs.download/dev/pixi.js . You cant get it from npm, before BatchShaderGenerator will appear in 5.1.0 release soon

Ahhh ok thanks!

Hi @ivan.popelyshev, apologies for resurrecting this post.

I noticed that npm had been updated and thought I'd get back on this... but, I'm still not having any luck at getting it working.

If I try

import {PIXI_projection} from 'pixi-projection';

and try this:

console.log(PIXI_projection) // returns undefined

I get nothing, similarly any reference to Sprite2D  etc. just generates an error.

I can see the code is there in the node modules, so it must be a referencing error...

(Also, as a further sanity check, is PIXI.projection compatible with pixi.js-legacy?)

Apologies for answering my own question - but just in case anyone comes across this issue.

You do still need to import the pixi projection module - but you don't use it directly.

I import like this:

import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
import unused_pixi_projection from 'pixi-projection';

and then just use as per the examples

this.sprt =new PIXI.projection.Sprite2d(PIXI.Texture.from('playBtn'));

If there is a better/proper way to do this, I'd be happy to hear it!
