Cannot use filters anymore in PIXI v7

[trych]

Hi there,

I have a small pixi.js setup where I apply a Pixelate filter. I am now trying to upgrade this to PIXI v7.x, but get an error that I don't understand.

Here is the line that gives me the issue:

const pixelateFilter = new PIXI.filters.PixelateFilter(1);

I get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Class constructor Mt cannot be invoked without 'new'
    at new n (PixelateFilter.ts:25:9)
    at (Index):20:30

I have no idea what to do and the v7 Breaking changes section on GitHub does not seem to mention filters either. How do I need to change the syntax to make it work in PIXI v7.x ?

Thanks!

Did you import it before using?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pixi/filter-pixelate

Yes, I just updated the Script from v6.x to v7.x and left the filters in. I am loading them via CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/pixi-filters@latest/dist/pixi-filters.js"></script>

Did anyone figure this out yet? I am having this issue right now

Unfortunately not. I had to stay with PIXI v6 for the project in question. I find it strange that PIXI has a major update that apparently breaks such an essential feature.

Serving pixi-filters.js locally solved me this problem. I downloaded it from here: https://github.com/pixijs/filters/releases
