Component

Components in Ecstatic can be anything that is a class, granting some HUGE flexibility.

Tips

It's helpful to think of Components as "balls of state". While methods may exist on a Component, be careful that they aren't doing too much. It's good to keep these methods isolated to updating and managing state that exists on the Component. Leave most logic to a System.

Extending Components can be really helpful in targeting the right Systems.

// Components

class AwesomeComp {}

class VeryAwesomeComp extends AwesomeComp {}

class SuperAwesomeComp extends AwesomeComp {}

// Systems

// Both Systems can have access to the same data, but can run at different times.

world.addSystem([VeryAwesomeComp], VeryAwesomeStuff);

world.addSystem([SuperAwesomeComp], SuperAwesomeStuff);
