PIXI.JS Factory

License Badge

A superset for creating and handling Pixi.js resources

Install

npm install pixi.js pixi-factory

or

yarn add pixi.js pixi-factory

Usage

We recommend that you use Factory.* To avoid new method intentions, in addition to already containing everything that the library has.

Sprite

With Factory.Sprite.* or new Sprite().* create and handle sprites in a more coherent way and with new features.

Creating a Generic Sprite

import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
import Factory from 'pixi-factory';

const app = new PIXI.Application();
document.body.appendChild(app.view);

app.loader.add('example', 'example.jpg').load((loader, resources) => {
  const example = Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.example.texture), {
    bump: true, // hability a collision properties
    velocity: true, // hability a velocity base content
    d20rpg: true, // hability a standard d20 rpg
    content: {
      // append or override content in a base sprite properties
      x: 100,
      y: 100,
    },
  });

  console.log(example.velocity); // a velocity content
  console.log(example.centerY); // a bump property
  console.log(example.base); // a d20 rpg contents

  app.stage.addChild(example);
  // ...
});
Generic Sprites

The creation functions expect only a generic object with a key in string, so that the methods are not directly dependent on PIXI, being able to create external objects.

import Factory from 'pixi-factory';

const sprite = Factory.Sprite.create({ name: 'guest001' }, { content: { foo: 'bar' } });

The internal methods are also generic, waiting to receive the sprite that is being instantiated, modifying the internal methods. It is not a directly safe approach because it is changeable, but it makes it easy to handle objects without the need for an ECS.

import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
import Factory from 'pixi-factory';

const example = Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.example.texture), {
  bump: true,
  velocity: true,
  d20rpg: true,
});

example.velocity.setVelocity(example, 10);
console.log(example.velocity.x); // 10

// or

example.velocity.x = 10;
example.velocity.y = 10;

All methods are available in the documentation

Actions and Events

All methods starts with A_** (Actions) is called only once to execute effect, while those starting with the prefix E_** (Events) need to be called constantly on the same tick such as tracking motion events that are specific to each tick.

Action
/* By default, this function takes 1 second to be fully generated, but it only needs to be called once to take effect. */
sprite.velocity.A_knockbackHit(sprite);
Events
import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
import Factory from 'pixi-factory';

const app = new PIXI.Application();
document.body.appendChild(app.view);

app.loader.add('example', 'example.jpg').load((loader, resources) => {
  const a = Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.example.texture), {
    bump: true,
    velocity: true,
    d20rpg: true,
  });

  const b = Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.example.texture), {
    bump: true,
    velocity: true,
    d20rpg: true,
  });

  app.stage.addChild(a);
  app.stage.addChild(b);

  app.ticker.add(() => {
    /* Return a boolean */
    console.log(a.base.E_hit(a, b, { type: 'rectangle' }));
  });
});

Group

With Factory.Group.* create and handle groups in a more coherent way and with new features.

Basic Usage

import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
import Factory from 'pixi-factory';
// ...
function setup() {
  const sprite = Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.example.texture));
  const group = Factory.Group.create([sprite], { container: app.stage });

  // or

  const wolfs = Factory.Group.create(
    [
      ['wolf1', Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.wolf.texture))],
      ['wolf2', Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.wolf.texture))],
      ['wolf3', Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.wolf.texture))],
    ],
    { container: app.stage, key: true },
  );

  console.log(wolfs.get('wolf1'));
}
Sprites Reference

It is possible to mutate objects in all ways to maintain coherent handling and not restrict sprites to the Factory

// example utilizing a pixi-controller package
import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
import Controller, { BUTTON, PLAYER } from 'pixi-controller';
import Factory from 'pixi-factory';

const app = new PIXI.Application();
document.body.appendChild(app.view);

app.loader.add('example', 'example.jpg').load((loader, resources) => {
  const _example = Factory.Sprite.create(new PIXI.Sprite(resources.example.texture), {
    bump: true,
    velocity: true,
  });
  const group = Factory.Group.create([['example', _example]], { container: app.stage, key: true });
  Controller.Mouse.prevent(BUTTON.RIGHT);

  app.ticker.add(() => {
    if (Controller.Keyboard.isKeyDown(...PLAYER.LEFT)) group.get('example').x -= 1;
    if (Controller.Keyboard.isKeyDown(...PLAYER.RIGHT)) _example.x += 1;
    if (Controller.Keyboard.isKeyDown(...PLAYER.UP)) group.get('example').y -= 1;
    if (Controller.Keyboard.isKeyDown(...PLAYER.DOWN)) _example.y += 1;

    Controller.update();
  });
});

TypeScript

All interfaces and types are exported with the Utils namespace, thus being able to directly use the internal typing for your objects.

import Factory, { Utils } from 'pixi-factory';

const sprite: Utils.PIXISprite = Factory.Sprite.create(example, {
  bump: true,
  velocity: true,
  d20rpg: true,
});

We recommend that you use "strictNullChecks": false in tsconfig.json if you are using Typescript in your project.

FAQ

Why not instantiate directly from classes?

It would be necessary to extend directly from PIXI.DisplayObject in addition to injecting some resources by default, polluting objects.

Why not just use CDN, requiring installation of the package?

Standardizing the packages and the way to use pixi.js can bring future benefits, especially while using webpack/snowpack. If necessary, clone this project and run npm i && npm run build, this generating a index.js module and other extensions in the /lib folder. Consulting rollup.config.js for other options.
