Usage¶

Sample code

Install plugin¶

Load minify file¶

Enable dom element in configuration of game

var config = {
    parent: divId,
    // fullscreenTarget: divId, // For fullscreen
    dom: {
        createContainer: true
    },
    input: {
        mouse: {
            target: divId
        },
        touch: {
            target: divId
        },
    },
    // ...
};
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);

Set parent to divId
Set dom.createContainer to true.

Load plugin (minify file) in preload stage

scene.load.scenePlugin('rexuiplugin', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rexrainbow/phaser3-rex-notes/master/dist/rexuiplugin.min.js', 'rexUI', 'rexUI');

Add file selector button object

var button = scene.add.fileSelectorButton(config);

Import plugin¶

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

Install plugin in configuration of game

import FileChooserPlugin from 'phaser3-rex-plugins/plugins/filechooser-plugin.js';

    // 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.

File chooser game object

var fileChooser = label.getElement('fileChooser');

Get by name

var gameObject = label.getElement('#' + name);
// var gameObject = label.getElement('#' + name, recursive);

or

var gameObject = label.getByName(name);
// var gameObject = label.getByName(name, recursive);

recursive : Set true to search all children recursively.

Selected files¶

var files = fileChooser.files;

files : Array of file object.

Set accept filter¶

fileChooser.setAccept(accept);

accept : A filter for what file types the user can pick from the file input dialog box.

```
Disable
```
fileChooser.setMultiple(false);
```

Events¶

Selected file(s) changed

button.on('select', function(files, button) {        
    var file = files[0];
    var url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
    // ...
})

Load file to cache¶

fileChooser.loadFile(file, loaderType, key);
// fileChooser.loadFile(file, loaderType, key, cahceType);

or

fileChooser.loadFilePromise(file, loaderType, key, cahceType)
    .then(function(content) {

    })

file : File object, see Events
loaderType : image, text, binary, ... See Loader
key : Unique string key.
cahceType :
- undefined : Use default value.
