Loader

Loader is the normal resource-loading entrypoint.

Responsibilities

• queue named resources by ResourceTypes
• delegate decoding/creation to typed factories
• populate a ResourceContainer
• optionally use a Database implementation for persistence

Normal usage

await loader
  .add(ResourceTypes.image, { logo: 'images/logo.png' })
  .load()

Key concepts

• LoaderOptions
• ResourceFactory
• ResourceContainer
• Database

Important methods

• add(type, items, options?)
• load(callback?)
• loadItem(queueItem)
• addFactory(type, factory)
• getFactory(type)
• reset(...)
• destroy()

Notes

• resource path prefixing is controlled by resourcePath
• persistence is optional and explicit
• loader factories are the type boundary for resource creation
