WGSLLanguageFeatures

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The WGSLLanguageFeatures interface of the WebGPU API is a setlike object that reports the WGSL language extensions supported by the WebGPU implementation.

The WGSLLanguageFeatures object is accessed via the GPU.wgslLanguageFeatures property.

Note: Not all WGSL language extensions are available to WebGPU in all browsers that support the API. We recommend you thoroughly test any extensions you choose to use.

Available features

The available WGSL language extensions can vary across implementations and physical devices and may also change over time; we have therefore not listed them here. For a complete list, refer to WGSL language extensions in the WGSL specification.

Instance properties

The following property is available to all read-only setlike objects:

size Experimental: Returns the number of values in the set.

Instance methods

The following methods are available to all read-only setlike objects:

has() Experimental: Returns a boolean asserting whether or not an element with the given value is present in the set.
values() Experimental: Returns a new iterator object that yields values for each element in the set in insertion order.
keys() Experimental: An alias for values().
entries() Experimental: Returns a new iterator object that contains an array of [value, value] for each element in the set in insertion order.
forEach() Experimental: Calls the provided callback function once for each value present in the set in insertion order.

Examples

if (!navigator.gpu) {
  throw Error("WebGPU not supported.");
}

const wgslFeatures = navigator.gpu.wgslLanguageFeatures;

// Return the size of the set
console.log(wgslFeatures.size);

// Iterate through all the set values using values()
const valueIterator = wgslFeatures.values();
for (const value of valueIterator) {
  console.log(value);
}

// ...
