name: pixijs-assets description: "Use for PixiJS v8 Assets: Assets.init/load/add/unload, bundles, manifests, cache, onProgress, background loading, spritesheets, video, SVG, fonts, compressed textures, parser selection." license: MIT

Use this for loading, resolving, caching, unloading, or preloading PixiJS assets.

Fast Path

import { Assets, Sprite } from 'pixi.js';

await Assets.init({ basePath: '/assets' });
const texture = await Assets.load('bunny.png');
app.stage.addChild(new Sprite(texture));

Rules

Load remote files with Assets.load(...); Texture.from(url) no longer performs network loading.
Register aliases with object form: Assets.add({ alias: 'bunny', src: 'bunny.png' }).
Use bundles/manifests when asset groups are known up front; use backgroundLoad for future screens.
Use onProgress in load options for UI progress, and unload unused level assets to release memory.
Use parser only to force a loader when extension/MIME inference is wrong.
Import required extension side effects before loading special formats: bitmap fonts, GIF, SVG/graphics, compressed textures, video as needed.

Reference Map

Deep asset details and parser list: references/details.md
Bundles: references/bundles.md
Manifests: references/manifests.md
Caching/unload: references/caching.md
Progress/background: references/progress.md, references/background.md
Spritesheets, SVG, video, fonts, GIF, compressed textures, resolution: load the matching file in references/.

Common Fixes

Broken v7 Assets.add('id', 'url'): rewrite to object form.
Level transitions leak memory: call Assets.unload(...) for assets no longer needed.
Wrong parser selected: pass data or explicit parser after checking the format reference.
