ecsy
ECSY (pronounced as "eck-see") is an highly experimental Entity Component System framework implemented in javascript, aiming to be lightweight, easy to use and with good performance.
For detailed information on the architecture and API please visit the documentation page
Features
- Framework agnostic
- Focused on providing a simple but yet efficient API
- Designed to avoid garbage collection as possible
- Systems, entities and components are scoped in a
worldinstance - Multiple queries per system
- Reactive support:
- Support for reactive behaviour on systems (React to changes on entities and components)
- System can query mutable or immutable components
- Predictable:
- Systems will run on the order they were registered or based on the priority defined when registering them
- Reactive events will not generate a random callback when emited but queued and be processed in order
- Modern Javascript: ES6, classes, modules,...
- Pool for components and entities
Examples
- Ball example:
- 2D Canvas https://ecsy.io/examples/canvas
- Factory pattern with
Notoperator: https://ecsy.io/examples/factory - System state component example: https://ecsy.io/examples/systemstatecomponents
Usage
Installing the package via npm:
npm install --save ecsy
