Sample code

Install plugin¶

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,

    icon: iconGameObject,
    // iconMask: false,
    // squareFitIcon: false,
    // iconSize: undefined, iconWidth: undefined, iconHeight: undefined,

    text: textGameObject,

        top: 0,
        bottom: 0,

        icon: 0,
        text: 0,
    },

    // name: '',
    // draggable: false,
    // sizerEvents: false,
    // enableLayer: false,
});

x, y : Position of this object, it is valid when this object is the top object.
anchor : See anchor.
- left, right, centerX, x, top, bottom, centerY, y : Position based on visible window, which composed of
  - Percentage of visible width/height : 'p%', p: 0 ~ 100.

    - 'top'(=0%), 'center'(=50%), 'bottom'(=100%)
  - Offset : '+n', or '-n'.

  - Percentage of visible width/height : 'p%', p: 0 ~ 100.
  - Padding : '+n', or '-n'.
- onResizeCallback : A default resize callback will be assigned interanlly.
width, height : Minimum width, minimum height.
orientation :

- 'top-to-bottom', 'vertical','v', 'y', or 1 : Put icon at top side, and text at bottom side.
rtl :
- true : Layout children from right to left.
- false : Layout children from left to right. Default behavior.
background : Game object of background, optional. This background game object will be resized to fit the size of label.

- Phaser 3 engine does not support nested mask, uses circle mask image instead.
squareFitIcon :

  - Can't work wit expandTextWidth: true
- false : Ignore this feature. Default behavior.
iconSize : Set display size of icon game object to iconSizexiconSize
iconWidth : Set display width of icon game object to iconWidth.
- If iconHeight is undefined, set scaleY of icon game object to scaleX of icon game object, to keep size ratio.
iconHeight : Set display height of icon game object to iconHeight.
- If iconWidth is undefined, set scaleX of icon game object to scaleY of icon game object, to keep size ratio.
text : Game object of text, optional.
expandTextWidth :
- false : Keep width of text to original size. Default behavior.
- true : Expand width of text object. Will set display width by default.
  - Must set to true if using scene.rexUI.wrapExpandText method with any text game object.
  - Can't work with squareFitIcon: true.
expandTextHeight : Set true to expand height of text object.
action : Game object of action icon, optional.
actionMask : Set true to add a circle mask on action icon game object.
- Phaser 3 engine does not support nested mask, uses circle mask image instead.

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, or tag text 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();

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;
```

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,

})

text : Set text string.
icon, iconFrame : Set texture of icon game object.
- undefined, or null : Hide icon game object.
iconSize : Set display size of icon game object.
action, actionFrame : Set texture of action game object.
- undefined, or null : Hide action game object.
actionSize : Set display size of action game object.

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