# lazy-widgets-wle
[Wonderland Engine](https://wonderlandengine.com/) integration for the
[lazy-widgets](https://github.com/rafern/lazy-widgets) Typescript UI library.
A reboot of the
[@rafern/canvas-ui-wl](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rafern/canvas-ui-wl)
library.
## Installation and setup
> **Before you follow these instructions**: These instructions don't apply to the example project. The example project should run out-of-the-box, **and following these might break it**.
1. Install the `lazy-widgets` NPM package: `npm install --save-dev lazy-widgets`
2. Install this NPM package: `npm install --save lazy-widgets-wle`
- Make sure to use `--save` instead of `--save-dev`, otherwise it will not work, since Wonderland Engine libraries can't be `devDependencies` if they are meant to be used in the editor
3. Import needed classes from `lazy-widgets` and `lazy-widgets-wle` in your code
4. Create a new component for your UI root ([see example section](#Example))
5. Set the material to use for your UI root component to a textured material. If you want a semi-transparent background, create a new pipeline with alpha blending enabled
Note that there is no API in Wonderland Engine to get information about a
pipeline or shader. This means that there is no way for this library to know
which field should be set for a material's texture (is it `diffuseTexture` or
`flatTexture`, or another field name?). Because of this, this library tries to
guess which field should be set by looking at the name of the shader. The
following names are supported at the moment:
- `Flat Opaque Textured`
- `Phong Opaque Textured`
- `Physical Opaque Textured`
- `Flat Transparent Textured`
- `Phong Transparent Textured`
- `Physical Transparent Textured`
- `Phong Normalmapped`
- `Phong Lightmapped`
If a custom pipeline is used, the texture uniform name can also be set with the
`textureUniformName` WLRoot property.
## Documentation
Documentation can be generated locally with the command `npm run docs`. Output
will be in a new `docs` folder. The documentation is also served on
[Github Pages](https://rafern.github.io/lazy-widgets-wle).
Documentation for `lazy-widgets` is available in the
[lazy-widgets Github Pages](https://rafern.github.io/lazy-widgets).
## Example
An example project can be found in the `example-project` folder, which is also
served on
[Github Pages](https://rafern.github.io/lazy-widgets-wle/example-project).
## Miscellaneous
A component which disables a component of 2 given objects if the keyboard and/or
mouse are in use in a UI root is also provided. The component is named
`lazy-widgets-input-guard`.
