PluginFile

A single Plugin Script File suitable for loading by the Phaser Loader. A Plugin File represents an external JavaScript file that, once loaded, registers a Phaser plugin and makes it available to the Plugin Manager. The script is executed by appending it as a <script> element to the document head. The plugin can optionally be auto-started and injected into the current Scene under a given property key.

These are created when you use the Phaser.Loader.LoaderPlugin#plugin method and are not typically created directly.

For documentation about what all the arguments and configuration options mean please see Phaser.Loader.LoaderPlugin#plugin.

Public Methods

onProcess

<instance> onProcess()

Description:

Called automatically by Loader.nextFile. Processes the loaded Plugin file and installs it into the Scene's Plugin Manager. If the plugin was provided directly as a class or function, it is installed immediately. Otherwise, a new <script> element is created containing the loaded JavaScript source, appended to the document head to execute it, and then the plugin is installed from the global scope using the file key. If a Scene mapping key or auto-start flag is set, the plugin is also injected into the current Scene and Scene Systems.
