Forked Version of esbuild-plugin-glslx | New

Differences from https://github.com/evanw/esbuild-plugin-glslx :

• optional C/GLSL-preprocessor added
• default build options adjusted to match GLSLX

OPTIONAL BUILD OPTIONS:

writeTypeDeclarations: boolean             // Default: false
renaming: 'all' | 'internal-only' | 'none' // Default: 'all'
disableRewriting: boolean                  // Default: false
prettyPrint: boolean                       // Default: false
preprocess: object                         // Default: inactive (null)

ENABLE PREPROCESSING:

without special settings

const glslxPlugin = require('@sitdisch/esbuild-plugin-glslx');
...
esbuild.build({
  ...
  plugins: [
    glslxPlugin({
      preprocess: {}
    }),
  ],
})

with special settings

const glslxPlugin = require('@sitdisch/esbuild-plugin-glslx');
...
esbuild.build({
  ...
  plugins: [
    glslxPlugin({
      preprocess: {
        myVar: 1,
        myMacro: function (arg) { return arg; }
      }
    }),
  ],
})

Install Procedure: npm i @sitdisch/esbuild-plugin-glslx

esbuild-plugin-glslx | Original

A plugin for esbuild that adds support for *.glslx file imports including shader type checking at build time. GLSLX is a language extension for GLSL that lets you write multiple WebGL 1.0 shaders in the same file using the export keyword. It comes with a GLSLX Visual Studio Code extension that enables standard IDE features for GLSLX including type checking, go-to-definition, symbol renaming, and format-on-save. GLSLX code looks something like this:

uniform sampler2D tex;
attribute vec3 pos;
varying vec2 coord;

export void yourVertexShader() {
  coord = pos.xy;
  gl_Position = vec4(pos, 1);
}

export void yourFragmentShader() {
  gl_FragColor = texture2D(tex, coord);
}

Basic Usage

1. Install this plugin in your project:

   npm install --save-dev esbuild-plugin-glslx

2. Add this plugin to your esbuild build script:

   +const glslxPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-glslx')
    ...
    esbuild.build({
      ...
      plugins: [
   +    glslxPlugin(),
      ],
    })

3. Import your *.glslx file from JavaScript:

   import { yourVertexShader, yourFragmentShader } from './shaders.glslx'
   
   // Each shader is a string that you can pass to your WebGL 1.0 rendering engine of choice
   const material = THREE.RawShaderMaterial({
     vertexShader: yourVertexShader,
     fragmentShader: yourFragmentShader,
   })

Usage with TypeScript

If you would like to use GLSLX with TypeScript, you'll have to tell the TypeScript compiler how to interpret imports from *.glslx files. You have two options:

• One way to do this is to add a blanket type declaration for all *.glslx files such that every import is considered to be a string:

  // Save this as the file "glslx.d.ts" alongside your source code
  declare module "*.glslx" {
    var values: Record<string, string>;
    export = values;
  }

  This means you can't use named imports anymore, but you can still use namespace imports like this:

  import * as shaders from './shaders.glslx'
  console.log(shaders.yourVertexShader, shaders.yourFragmentShader)

• Another way to do this is to generate a *.glslx.d.ts file for each *.glslx file with a type declaration for each exported shader. This plugin can do that for you if you enable the writeTypeDeclarations option:

   const glslxPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-glslx')
  
   esbuild.build({
     ...
     plugins: [
       glslxPlugin({
  +      writeTypeDeclarations: true,
       }),
     ],
   })

  Then you can use any kind of imports in TypeScript including named imports.
