Component Wishlist

[ngokevin]

If you have a component you want to see, comment here. Ideally, describe what the component would do and which properties you'd like to see the component have.

Idea to improve polish — I'd like to see a loading progress component, like this:

<a-scene loading="style: spinner;
                  color: #fff;
                  background: #ef2d5e;
                  text: Please wait...;">

  <!-- ... -->

</scene>

The component could support custom foreground/background colors, a text blurb, and 2-3 spinner styles. It should just remove itself when the first frame renders.

We could use something like http://tobiasahlin.com/spinkit/ — bunch of clean, minimal spinners, each just a few lines of CSS.

I made a little loading component using SpinKit.

It should just remove itself when the first frame renders.

I found that the rendering of my models is rate-limiting, not the asset loading. So, I listen to the 'model-loaded' event on a-obj-model instead of 'loaded' on a-asset-item. Would this still be useful to you guys?
