Interface Definitions

ApplicationOptions

Application options supplied to the init method.

Properties:
Name Type Default Description
autoStart boolean true

Automatically starts the rendering after the construction. Note: Setting this parameter to false does NOT stop the shared ticker even if you set options.sharedTicker to true in case that it is already started. Stop it by your own.
resizeTo Window | HTMLElement

Element to automatically resize the renderer to.
sharedTicker boolean false

Settrue to use Ticker.shared, false to create new ticker. If set to false, you cannot register a handler to occur before anything that runs on the shared ticker. The system ticker will always run before both the shared ticker and the app ticker.
Example
 import { Application } from 'pixi.js';

 const app = new Application();

 await app.init({
    autoStart: false,
    resizeTo: window,
    sharedTicker: true,
