Purpouse

1. Designed for node - it makes you run universal javascript code that is designed with pixi.js on node.js environment

2. It is very lazy - meaning it won't load anything twice and won't attempt to load it if it's not required

3. It wont even load itself twice - while including multiple instances of pixi.js can cause Cannot redefine property isJson Error

Lazy loading

with lazy polyfill of

• DOM
• Window
• Canvas
• PIXI
• other polyfills (requestAnimationFrame, etc.)

Usage

require("pixi-shim");

Usage if your game/app is feature-heavy:

and it still doesn't work, you might need to

$ yarn add pixi.js-legacy

and then do

require("pixi-shim");
require("pixi.js-legacy");

Installation

$ yarn add pixi-shim

DEBUG

environment flag DEBUG enables DEBUG with progress on which polyfill have been loaded

$ DEBUG=pixi-shim node -r pixi-shim yourscript.js

Canvas.toDataURL()

a bit hackish but works, see:
