Component

In PrimeEngine a component is a class that extends the abstract Component class. This class should only contain properties, their initial values and a constructor if needed. Most of the time a component will be referred to using a reference to the components constructor and will only be a container for the properties it contains.

Example

The simplest possible component is an empty component used to tag entities:

export class Tag extends Component {}

While a more advanced component could hold the properties for a rectangle:

export class Cube extends Component {
    public length = 0;
    public width = 0;
    public height = 0;
}
