@dragonspark/hikari

A lightweight WebGL framework for creating and rendering 3D/2D graphics in the browser.

🧩 Features

• Simple WebGL context management
• Streamlined rendering pipeline
• Built-in support for common geometries and materials
• Utility functions for camera projections and canvas sizing
• Lightweight and focused API

⚙️ Installation

npm install @dragonspark/hikari
# or
yarn add @dragonspark/hikari

🛠️ Usage

Basic Example

import { HikariGL } from '@dragonspark/hikari';

// Create a new HikariGL instance
const hikari = new HikariGL({
  canvas: document.querySelector('#canvas'),
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight
});

// Set up orthographic camera
hikari.setOrthographicCamera();

// Create a plane geometry
const geometry = hikari.createPlaneGeometry(
  window.innerWidth,
  window.innerHeight
);

// Create a material with shaders
const material = hikari.createMaterial(
  // Vertex shader
  `
  attribute vec3 position;
  attribute vec2 uv;

  uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;
  uniform mat4 modelViewMatrix;

  varying vec2 vUv;

  void main() {
    vUv = uv;
    gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(position, 1.0);
  }
  `,
  // Fragment shader
  `
  precision mediump float;

  varying vec2 vUv;

  void main() {
    gl_FragColor = vec4(vUv.x, vUv.y, 0.5, 1.0);
  }
  `
);

// Create a mesh with the geometry and material
const mesh = hikari.createMesh(geometry, material);

// Render the scene
function animate() {
  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  hikari.render();
}
animate();

Handling Resize Events

window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
  hikari.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
  hikari.setOrthographicCamera();
});
