Chapter 377: ArrayNode

Core Idea

ArrayNode represents a collection of nodes, typically created using the array function.

const colors = array( [
	vec3( 1, 0, 0 ),
	vec3( 0, 1, 0 ),
	vec3( 0, 0, 1 )
] );
const redColor = tintColors.element( 0 );

Constructor

Signature
`new ArrayNode( nodeType : string, count : number, values : Array.<Node> )`

Properties

Property	Description
`.count : number`	Array size.
`.isArrayNode : boolean (readonly)`	This flag can be used for type testing.
`.values : Array.<Node>`	Array default values.

Methods

Method	Description
`.generate( builder : NodeBuilder ) : string`	This method builds the output node and returns the resulting array as a shader string.
`.generateNodeType( builder : NodeBuilder ) : string`	Returns the node's type.
`.getArrayCount( builder : NodeBuilder ) : number`	Returns the number of elements in the node array.
`.getElementType( builder : NodeBuilder ) : string`	Returns the node's type.
`.getMemberType( builder : NodeBuilder, name : string ) : string`	Returns the type of a member variable.
