TWGL: A Tiny WebGL helper Library
[rhymes with wiggle]

This library's sole purpose is to make using the WebGL API less verbose.

TL;DR

If you want to get stuff done use three.js. If you want to do stuff low-level with WebGL consider using TWGL.

The tiniest example

Not including the shaders (which is a simple quad shader) here's the entire code

<canvas id="c"></canvas>
<script src="../dist/6.x/twgl-full.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const gl = document.getElementById("c").getContext("webgl");
  const programInfo = twgl.createProgramInfo(gl, ["vs", "fs"]);

  const arrays = {
    position: [-1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0, -1, 1, 0, -1, 1, 0, 1, -1, 0, 1, 1, 0],
  };
  const bufferInfo = twgl.createBufferInfoFromArrays(gl, arrays);

  function render(time) {
    twgl.resizeCanvasToDisplaySize(gl.canvas);
    gl.viewport(0, 0, gl.canvas.width, gl.canvas.height);

    const uniforms = {
      time: time * 0.001,
      resolution: [gl.canvas.width, gl.canvas.height],
    };

    gl.useProgram(programInfo.program);
    twgl.setBuffersAndAttributes(gl, programInfo, bufferInfo);
    twgl.setUniforms(programInfo, uniforms);
    twgl.drawBufferInfo(gl, bufferInfo);

    requestAnimationFrame(render);
  }
  requestAnimationFrame(render);
</script>

And here it is live.

Why? What? How?

WebGL is a very verbose API. Setting up shaders, buffers, attributes and uniforms takes a lot of code. A simple lit cube in WebGL might easily take over 60 calls into WebGL.

At its core there's really only a few main functions

twgl.createProgramInfo compiles a shader and creates setters for attribs and uniforms
twgl.createBufferInfoFromArrays creates buffers and attribute settings
twgl.setBuffersAndAttributes binds buffers and sets attributes
twgl.setUniforms sets the uniforms
twgl.createTextures creates textures of various sorts
twgl.createFramebufferInfo creates a framebuffer and attachments.

There's a few extra helpers and lower-level functions if you need them but those 6 functions are the core of TWGL.

Compare the TWGL vs WebGL code for a point lit cube.

Compiling a Shader and looking up locations

TWGL

const programInfo = twgl.createProgramInfo(gl, ["vs", "fs"]);

WebGL

// Note: I'm conceding that you'll likely already have the 30 lines of
// code for compiling GLSL
const program = twgl.createProgramFromScripts(gl, ["vs", "fs"]);

const u_lightWorldPosLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_lightWorldPos");
const u_lightColorLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_lightColor");
const u_ambientLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_ambient");
const u_specularLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_specular");
const u_shininessLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_shininess");
const u_specularFactorLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_specularFactor");
const u_diffuseLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_diffuse");
const u_worldLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_world");
const u_worldInverseTransposeLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_worldInverseTranspose");
const u_worldViewProjectionLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_worldViewProjection");
const u_viewInverseLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_viewInverse");

const positionLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, "a_position");
const normalLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, "a_normal");
const texcoordLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, "a_texcoord");

Creating Buffers for a Cube

TWGL

const arrays = {
  position: [1,1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1],

};
const bufferInfo = twgl.createBufferInfoFromArrays(gl, arrays);

WebGL

// At render time
uniforms.u_viewInverse = camera;
uniforms.u_world = world;
uniforms.u_worldInverseTranspose = m4.transpose(m4.inverse(world));
uniforms.u_worldViewProjection = m4.multiply(viewProjection, world);

twgl.setUniforms(programInfo, uniforms);

Creating Framebuffers and attachments

TWGL

const attachments = [
  { format: RGBA, type: UNSIGNED_BYTE, min: LINEAR, wrap: CLAMP_TO_EDGE },
  { format: DEPTH_STENCIL, },
];
const fbi = twgl.createFramebufferInfo(gl, attachments);

WebGL

const fb = gl.createFramebuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER);
gl.bindFramebuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, fb);
const tex = gl.createTexture();
gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, tex);
gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.RGBA, gl.drawingBufferWidth, gl.drawingBufferHeight, 0, gl.RGBA, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, null);
gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_S, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_T, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, gl.LINEAR);
gl.framebufferTexture2D(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.TEXTURE_2D, tex, 0);
const rb = gl.createRenderbuffer();
gl.bindRenderbuffer(gl.RENDERBUFFER, rb);
gl.renderbufferStorage(gl.RENDERBUFFER, gl.DEPTH_STENCIL, gl.drawingBufferWidth, gl.drawingBufferHeight);
gl.framebufferRenderbuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, gl.DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, gl.RENDERBUFFER, rb);

Setting uniform and uniformblock structures and arrays

Given an array of GLSL structures like this

struct Light {
  float intensity;
  float shininess;
  vec4 color;
}
uniform Light lights[2];

TWGL

const progInfo = twgl.createProgramInfo(gl, [vs, fs]);
...
twgl.setUniforms(progInfo, {
  lights: [
    { intensity: 5.0, shininess: 100, color: [1, 0, 0, 1] },
    { intensity: 2.0, shininess:  50, color: [0, 0, 1, 1] },
  ],
});

WebGL

// assuming we already compiled and linked the program
const light0IntensityLoc = gl.getUniformLocation('lights[0].intensity');
const light0ShininessLoc = gl.getUniformLocation('lights[0].shininess');
const light0ColorLoc = gl.getUniformLocation('lights[0].color');
const light1IntensityLoc = gl.getUniformLocation('lights[1].intensity');
const light1ShininessLoc = gl.getUniformLocation('lights[1].shininess');
const light1ColorLoc = gl.getUniformLocation('lights[1].color');
...
gl.uniform1f(light0IntensityLoc, 5.0);
gl.uniform1f(light0ShininessLoc, 100);
gl.uniform4fv(light0ColorLoc, [1, 0, 0, 1]);
gl.uniform1f(light1IntensityLoc, 2.0);
gl.uniform1f(light1ShininessLoc, 50);
gl.uniform4fv(light1ColorLoc, [0, 0, 1, 1]);

If you just want to set the 2nd light in TWGL you can do this

const progInfo = twgl.createProgramInfo(gl, [vs, fs]);
...
twgl.setUniforms(progInfo, {
  'lights[1]': { intensity: 5.0, shininess: 100, color: [1, 0, 0, 1] },
});

Rationale and other chit-chat

TWGL's is an attempt to make WebGL simpler by providing a few tiny helper functions that make it much less verbose and remove the tedium. TWGL is NOT trying to help with the complexity of managing shaders and writing GLSL. Nor is it a 3D library like three.js. It's just trying to make WebGL less verbose.

TWGL can be considered a spiritual successor to TDL. Where as TDL created several classes that wrapped WebGL, TWGL tries not to wrap anything. In fact you can manually create nearly all TWGL data structures.

For example the function setAttributes takes an object of attributes. In WebGL you might write code like this

gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, positionBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionLoc, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(positionLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, normalBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(normalLoc, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(normalLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, texcoordBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(texcoordLoc, 2, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(texcoordLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, colorsBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(colorLoc, 4, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, true, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(colorLoc);

setAttributes is just the simplest code to do that for you.

// make attributes for TWGL manually
const attribs = {
  a_position: { buffer: positionBuffer, size: 3, },
  a_normal:   { buffer: normalBuffer,   size: 3, },
  a_texcoord: { buffer: texcoordBuffer, size: 2, },
  a_color:    { buffer: colorBuffer,    size: 4, type: gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, normalize: true, },
};
twgl.setAttributes(attribSetters, attribs);

The point of the example above is TWGL is a thin wrapper. All it's doing is trying to make common WebGL operations easier and less verbose. Feel free to mix it with raw WebGL.
