Usage¶

Sample code

Install plugin¶

Load minify file¶

Load plugin (minify file) in preload stage

scene.load.plugin('reximageboxplugin', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rexrainbow/phaser3-rex-notes/master/dist/reximageboxplugin.min.js', true);

Add image object

var image = scene.add.rexImageBox(x, y, texture, frame, config);

Import plugin¶

Install rex plugins from npm
```
npm i phaser3-rex-plugins
```

Install plugin in configuration of game

import ImageBoxPlugin from 'phaser3-rex-plugins/plugins/imagebox-plugin.js';
var config = {
    // ...
    plugins: {
        global: [{
            key: 'rexImageBoxPlugin',
            plugin: ImageBoxPlugin,
            start: true
        },
        // ...
        ]
    }
    // ...
};
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);

Add image object

var image = scene.add.rexImageBox(x, y, texture, frame, config);

Import class¶

Install rex plugins from npm
```
npm i phaser3-rex-plugins
```

Import class

import ImageBox from 'phaser3-rex-plugins/plugins/imagebox.js';

Add image object

var image = new ImageBox(scene, x, y, texture, frame, config);
scene.add.existing(image);

Create instance¶

var image = scene.add.rexImageBox(x, y, texture, frame, {
    // width: undefined,
    // height: undefined,

    // background: undefined,
    // image: undefined
});

width, height : Resize this game object.
- undefined : Use original size. Default behavior.
background : Game object of background, optional. This background game object will be resized to fit the size of imageBox.
image : Custom image game object instance.
- undefined : Use built-in image game object. Default behavior.

Add imagebox from JSON

var image = scene.make.rexImageBox({
    x: 0,
    y: 0,
    key: null,
    frame: null,

    // width: undefined,
    // height: undefined,

    // background: undefined,
    // image: undefined

    // origin: {x: 0.5, y: 0.5},
    add: true
});

Custom class¶

Define class

class MyImageBox extends ImageBox {
    constructor(scene, x, y, texture, frame, config) {
        super(scene, x, y, texture, frame, config);
        // ...
        scene.add.existing(this);
    }
    // ...

    // preUpdate(time, delta) {}
}

scene.add.existing(gameObject) : Adds an existing Game Object to this Scene.
- If the Game Object renders, it will be added to the Display List.
- If it has a preUpdate method, it will be added to the Update List.

Create instance

var image = new MyImageBox(scene, x, y, texture, frame, config);

Resize¶

image.resize(width, height);

Note

If new size is bigger than original size, uses original size. (i.e won't scale up)
If new size is smaller than original size, scales down and keeps aspect ratio.

Set texture¶

image.setTexture(key, frame);

Current texture¶

var textureKey = image.texture.key;
var frameName = image.frame.name;

Clear texture¶

image.setTexture();

Will set internal image game object to invisible.

Scale image¶

image.scaleImage();

image.resize(width, height), or image.setTexture(key, frame) will invoke this method internally.

Internal image game object¶

var internalImageGO = image.image;

Other properties¶

See game object

Create mask¶

Create mask from internal image game object (image.image).

var mask = image.image.createBitmapMask();

See mask

Shader effects¶

Internal image game object (image.image) support preFX and postFX effects
