Migrating to 0.11

TypeGPU 0.11 brings a few API tweaks that require a small migration on the user’s part. The following sections go into detail on what to do to migrate.

A new API to replace buffer.writePartial()

The buffer.writePartial API is being deprecated in favor of buffer.patch. To migrate, simply replace any partial write of arrays in the form of [{ idx: 2, value: foo }, /* ... */] with { 2: foo, /* ... */ }.

const buffer = root.createBuffer(d.arrayOf(d.vec3f, 5)).$usage('storage');

 buffer.writePartial([{ idx: 2, value: d.vec3f(1, 2, 3) }]);
 buffer.patch({ 2: d.vec3f(1, 2, 3) });

Stabilizing textures and samplers

One by one, we’re making our APIs available without the ['~unstable'] prefix, and this time around, it’s textures and samplers. Just drop the unstable prefix, and you’re good to go.

 const sampler = root['~unstable'].createSampler({
 const sampler = root.createSampler({
  magFilter: 'linear',
  minFilter: 'linear',
});

 const texture = root['~unstable'].createTexture({
 const texture = root.createTexture({
  size: [256, 256],
  format: 'rgba8unorm' as const,
}).$usage('sampled');
