All possible failures

Type returned by queries.

Results from a query which can be used to retrieve content.

Options for configuring the behaviour of the importer. Provide them to initWithOptions.

GenerateFlatNormals

When a triangle primitive has no normals triangles/vertices will be separated and assigned one normal per triangle. This results in "flat shading".

The spec is a bit ambiguous (for webgl v1) here so that is why this is an option.

When normals are not specified, client implementations MUST calculate flat normals

Internal Msg type. Handle these in your update function. Your application Msg type should contain:

type Msg
    = GltfMsg Gltf.Msg

Internal state. Your application model should contain one:

type alias Model =
    { gltf : Gltf
    }

Initialize a Gltf and store it in your model:

init : Model
init =
    { gltf = Gltf.init
    }

Same as init but with a list of Option:

init : Model
init =
    { gltf = Gltf.initWithOptions [ Gltf.GenerateFlatNormals ]
    }

Internal update function. Call it in your update something like this:

GltfMsg msg_ ->
    Gltf.update
        { toMsg = GltfMsg
        , onComplete = GltfOnComplete
        }
        msg_
        model.gltf
        |> Tuple.mapFirst (\gltf -> { model | gltf = gltf })

The onComplete function will be called when the query is ready. Your application Msg type should handle these:

type Msg
    = GltfMsg Gltf.Msg
    | GltfOnComplete (Result Gltf.Error Gltf.QueryResult)

In the onComplete handler you can use the content functions to get a tree of nodes, animations, cameras etc.

Get default scene from a file of type .glb

Note: If file does not specify a default scene this returns the first in list

Get default scene from a file of type .gltf

Note: If file does not specify a default scene this returns the first in list

Get content from a file of type .glb by supplying one of following queries:

• Gltf.defaultSceneQuery (same as using getBinary)
• Gltf.sceneQuery

Get content from a file of type .gltf by supplying one of following queries:

• Gltf.defaultSceneQuery (same as using getGltf)
• Gltf.sceneQuery

Queries the glTF file for the default scene. If no default scene is defined this will query the first scene.

Queries the glTF file for scene by index.

Query an already loaded file

Get all animations

Get all cameras

Get node trees returned by query

Get information of all scenes

Get all skins

Get camera by index

Get texture by index.
