Class: File

Phaser.Loader. File

The base File class used by all File Types that the Loader can support. You shouldn't create an instance of a File directly, but should extend it with your own class, setting a custom type and processing methods.

new File(loader, fileConfig)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
loader Phaser.Loader.LoaderPlugin

The Loader that is going to load this File.
fileConfig Phaser.Types.Loader.FileConfig

The file configuration object, as created by the file type.

<nullable> linkFile :Phaser.Loader.File

Methods

<static> createObjectURL(image, blob, defaultType)

Static method for creating object URL using URL API and setting it as image 'src' attribute. If URL API is not supported (usually on old browsers) it falls back to creating Base64 encoded url using FileReader.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
image HTMLImageElement

Image object which 'src' attribute should be set to object URL.
blob Blob

A Blob object to create an object URL for.
defaultType string

Default mime type used if blob type is not available.
Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 492)

<static> revokeObjectURL(image)

Static method for releasing an existing object URL which was previously created by calling File#createObjectURL method.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
image HTMLImageElement

Image object which 'src' attribute should be revoked.
Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 526)

addToCache()

Adds this file to its target cache upon successful loading and processing. This method is often overridden by specific file types.

Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 435)

destroy()

Destroy this File and any references it holds.

Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 474)

hasCacheConflict()

Checks if a key matching the one used by this file exists in the target Cache or not. This is called automatically by the LoaderPlugin to decide if the file can be safely loaded or will conflict.

Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 420)
Returns:

true if adding this file will cause a conflict, otherwise false.

Type
boolean

load()

Called by the Loader, starts the actual file downloading. During the load the methods onLoad, onError and onProgress are called, based on the XHR events. You shouldn't normally call this method directly, it's meant to be invoked by the Loader.

Since: 3.0.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 263)

onError(xhr, event)

Called if the file errors while loading, is sent a DOM ProgressEvent.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
xhr XMLHttpRequest

The XMLHttpRequest that caused this onload event.
event ProgressEvent

The DOM ProgressEvent that resulted from this error.
Since: 3.0.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 330)

onLoad(xhr, event)

Called when the file finishes loading, is sent a DOM ProgressEvent.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
xhr XMLHttpRequest

The XMLHttpRequest that caused this onload event.
event ProgressEvent

The DOM ProgressEvent that resulted from this load.
Since: 3.0.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 302)

onProcess()

Usually overridden by the FileTypes and is called by Loader.nextFile. This method controls what extra work this File does with its loaded data, for example a JSON file will parse itself during this stage.

Since: 3.0.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 368)

onProcessComplete()

Called when the File has completed processing. Checks on the state of its multifile, if set.

Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 382)

onProcessError()

Called when the File has completed processing but it generated an error. Checks on the state of its multifile, if set.

Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 401)

onProgress(event)

Called during the file load progress. Is sent a DOM ProgressEvent.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
event ProgressEvent

The DOM ProgressEvent.
Since: 3.0.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 346)
Fires:

pendingDestroy()

Called once the file has been added to its cache and is now ready for deletion from the Loader. It will emit a filecomplete event from the LoaderPlugin.

Since: 3.7.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 452)
Fires:

resetXHR()

Resets the XHRLoader instance this file is using.

Since: 3.0.0
Source: src/loader/File.js (Line 247)

Links this File with another, so they depend upon each other for loading and processing.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
fileB Phaser.Loader.File

The file to link to this one.
Since: 3.7.0
