If you want your Vue project to support GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) syntax, you need to use a special loader to enable Webpack to load and parse GLSL files. This can generally be achieved by the following steps:
- Install webpack-glsl-loader:
npm install webpack-glsl-loader--save-dev
If you use yarn as your package management tool, you can install it with the following command:
yarn add webpack-glsl-loader --dev
- Open your project's
vue.config.js
file and add a new rule to match GLSL files:
const {
defineConfig } = require('@vue/cli-service')
module.exports = defineConfig({
transpileDependencies: true,
configureWebpack: (config) => {
config.module.rules.push({
test: /\.glsl$/,
use: [
{
loader: "webpack-glsl-loader",
},
],
});
},
})
This rule tells webpack to use webpack-glsl-loader when it encounters a file with the suffix .glsl.
- In your Vue components, you can now directly reference
.glsl
files using the import syntax, for example:
import vertexShader from './shaders/shader.vs.glsl'
import fragmentShader from './shaders/shader.fs.glsl'
glslify-loader processes the incoming files and returns a string that you can use directly in your WebGL program.
Note: Keep in mind that webpack needs to be restarted for the new loader configuration to take effect.
