Load minify file¶

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 label object

var label = scene.rexUI.add.label(config);

Import plugin¶

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

Install plugin in configuration of game

import UIPlugin from 'phaser3-rex-plugins/templates/ui/ui-plugin.js';
var config = {
    // ...
    plugins: {
        scene: [{
            key: 'rexUI',
            plugin: UIPlugin,
            mapping: 'rexUI'
        },
        // ...
        ]
    }
    // ...
};
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);

Add label object

var label = scene.rexUI.add.label(config);

Import class¶

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

Import class

import { Label } from 'phaser3-rex-plugins/templates/ui/ui-components.js';

Add label object

var label = new Label(scene, config);
scene.add.existing(label);

Add label object¶

var label = scene.rexUI.add.label({
    // x: 0,
    // y: 0,
    // anchor: undefined,
    // width: undefined,
    // height: undefined,

    orientation: 0,
    // rtl: false,

    background: backgroundGameObject,

Expand size of text¶

Expand width/height of text when expandTextWidth/expandTextHeight is true

To resize text object, text object should have resize method. For example

class MyText extends Phaser.GameObjects.Text {
    constructor(scene, x, y, text, style) {
        super(scene, x, y, text, style);
        scene.add.existing(this);
    }
    resize(width, height) {
        this.setFixedSize(width, height);
        return this;
    }
}

Or uses bbcode text object, tag text object, or canvasInput object.

Custom class¶

Define class

class MyLabel extends RexPlugins.UI.Label {
    constructor(scene, config) {
        super(scene, config);
        // ...
        scene.add.existing(this);
    }
    // ...
}

Create instance

var label = new MyLabel(scene, config);

Layout children¶

Arrange position of all elements.

label.layout();

Change children's align mode¶

label
    .setChildrenAlignMode(mode)
    .layout();

mode : Alignment of icon, text, action game objects.
- undefined, or 'left', or 'top' : Align game objects at left, or top.
  - Remove first and last space children.
- 'center' : Align game objects at center.
  - Add two spaces as first and last children.
- 'right', or 'bottom' : Align game objects at right, or bottom.
  - Add space as first child.

Get element¶

Get element

Background game object

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

Icon game object
```
var icon = label.getElement('icon');
```

Text game object

var textObject = label.getElement('text');

Action icon game object

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

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.

Text¶

Get text string
```
var s = label.text;
```
Set text string
```
label.setText(s);
```
or
```
label.text = s;
```

Append text string

label.appendText(text);
// label.text += '\n' + text;

or

label.appendText(text, false);
// label.text += text;

Icon texture¶

Set texture

label.setTexture(key);
// label.setTexture(key, frame);

Set texture via texture object

label.setTexture(texture);
// label.setTexture(texture, frame);

Get texture, frame

var texture = label.texture;
var frame = label.frame;

Get texture key, frame name

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

Reset display content¶

label.resetDisplayContent({
    text: '',

    icon: undefined, 
    iconFrame: undefined,
    iconSize: undefined,

    action: undefined, 
    actionFrame: undefined,
    actionSize: undefined,

})

or

label.resetDisplayContent(text);

text : Set text string.
icon, iconFrame
- A string : Set texture of icon game object.
- undefined, or null : Hide icon game object.
- true : Show icon game object without change its texture.
iconSize : Set display size of icon game object.
action, actionFrame
- A string : Set texture of icon game object.
- undefined, or null : Hide action game object.
- true : Show action game object without change its texture.
actionSize : Set display size of action game object.

Run label.layout() after this method, to layout children again.
