GlslEditor
Friendly GLSL Shader editor based on Codemirror compatible with glslViewer (C++/OpenGL ES) and glslCanvas (JS/WebGL).
Was originally develop to work as a embedded editor for The Book of Shaders. But now have grown as a stand alone Web app. Thanks to their compatibility with other apps of this ecosystems like glslViewer that runs in the RaspberryPi directly from console, GlslEditor interact with other projects like OpenFrame.io allowing the user to export the shaders to frames with only one button.
You can use it directly from editor.thebookofshaders.com or host one on your own website by including the two build files: glslEditor.css and glslEditor.js:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawgit.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslEditor/gh-pages/build/glslEditor.css">
<script type="application/javascript" src="https://rawgit.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslEditor/gh-pages/build/glslEditor.js"></script>You can also install it through npm:
npm install glslEditor --saveAnd then you are ready to use it by passing an DOM element or query selector string, and a set of options;
<body>
<div id="glsl_editor"></div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
const glslEditor = new GlslEditor('#glsl_editor', {
canvas_size: 500,
canvas_draggable: true,
theme: 'monokai',
multipleBuffers: true,
watchHash: true,
fileDrops: true,
menu: true
});
