Visual API Releases

The current version of the Visual API is 1.38.5. Each release’s latest version is publicly available at:

https://builds.dopple.io/atlatl-visual-api/releases/current/index.js

Additionally, previous releases are available at:

https://builds.dopple.io/atlatl-visual-api/releases/X.X.X/index.js
Note

Replace X.X.X above with your desired version number. For version 1.0.0, for example, you would use https://builds.dopple.io/atlatl-visual-api/releases/1.0.0/index.js.

While not normally needed, the ate environment (Automated Test Environment) can be accessed by appending -ate to the end of index in any of the above endpoints, such as: https://builds.dopple.io/atlatl-visual-api/releases/current/index-ate.js

Finally, by appending window to the end of any index (or index-ate) endpoints will provide a build that exclusively adds the Visual API to the window object, which can be used in certain cases where the standard build will fail (such as when using a library like requirejs). Examples: https://builds.dopple.io/atlatl-visual-api/releases/current/index-window.js and https://builds.dopple.io/atlatl-visual-api/releases/current/index-ate-window.js

Note

Since the AR experience now opens in a new tab, the call to launchAR should be fired within the onclick event. If it is not, it will be blocked by the browser. This will be taken care of automatically for implementations using the Visual Component.

Changed​

  • Controller logic is now handled externally and downloaded outside of the API package.

1.13.0​

Added​

  • Added support for multiple materials for a single option in a choice.
  • Added deduplication for textures to reduce memory footprint and improve network speed.

1.12.1​

Changed​

  • Changed order of operations for setting environment selection.
  • Setting texture values as intended to support texture transform extension.
  • Updated Runtime version to 1.8.2.

  • Added environment swapping that can be initiated through the controller.

Changed​

  • When the promise is resolved from captureImage in the Visual class, a string is returned that will contain the base64 image data.
  • Deprecated the backgroundColor option from Visual.initClient, instead the HTML Canvas element should be used to set the desired color.

1.11.0​

Added​

  • Events are now supported in the API through Product.triggerEvent.
  • Functionality has been added to listen to events being triggered by calling the onTriggerEvent function.
  • Environment properties for contrast, exposure, and toneMapping are now supported through the environment resource. The data will still need to be set initially through the CLI Tool.

1.10.0​

Added​

  • Added Observable and Observer classes for Visual configuration notifications.
  • Added ability to override the camera radius minimum, maximum and initial values in the controller.

Changed​

  • Updated loading screen so that it uses inline CSS styles so that it will work with shadow DOM.

1.9.0​

Added​

  • Added a new ARScene class. This is the interface used for all AR-related functionality. The new class can be created by calling the static function ARScene.create.

Changed​

  • The camera can now have clamped values through the updated options object when initializing the camera in the controller.

Fixed​

  • Fixed a bug that was causing the setValue function to encounter an error when the default value was set.
  • Fixed an issue where setValue was throwing an error if the dependency wasn’t downloaded yet, and the value was set to false.

1.7.1​

Fixed​

  • Fixed a performance regression that was causing extremely long load times for initial assets on some Products.

1.7.0​

Added​

  • Added caching for textures and products that will improve load times on consecutive runs.

Fixed​

  • Fixed an issue where a new material was not being created when the texture already existed.
  • Fixed an issue where material option textures were not getting loaded properly.

1.6.0​

Changed​

  • Updated how meshes are being cached and prolonged the time the meshes stay cached, so that consecutive launches are slightly faster.
  • Updated Runtime to 1.6.1.

Fixed​

  • Fixed camera logic in the controller so that any asynchronous calls will be more accurate.
  • Fixed an issue where the Product.setValue function wasn’t waiting until the controller was completely done before resolving the returned Promise.

Added​

  • Added a public destroy function on Product and ProductTemplate. This will allow those classes to be destroyed individually, outside of destroying the entire Visual instance.

1.4.0​

Added​

  • Added the setMaterial function to the Controller's mesh object. This can be used to swap materials on a particular mesh.
  • Materials can now be eagerly and lazily loaded just like meshes. You can enable this by specifying a material property in an options object of a particular choice within the Configurable Item's manifest. The material property takes in the ID of the material resource to use.
  • Added “Mesh Groups” to a controller. These can be created by calling addMeshGroup from the mesh object of a controller. The function will return an object where a list of meshes can be toggled on/off, including changing the material on every mesh in the group, with support for “equivalent” materials in the case that a different material needs to be used for a particular mesh.
  • Added a tryGetProductTemplate function to the Visual class. This behaves similarly to the existing getProductTemplate class, but it will not throw an error when the ProductTemplate is not found; instead it will return null.

Changed​

  • Updated Runtime version to 1.5.0.
  • Removed the default light that was getting generated through the Visual scene.

1.3.0​

Added​

  • Camera manipulation is now possible within the controller. It can be accessed within the controller by the Controller's camera object.

Changed​

  • The attachSlot function that can be accessed through the dependency object on a controller instance can now be called again to move the existing slot under a new node within the parent.

Fixed​

  • Fixed an issue where eager/lazily loaded meshes were not able to get configured properly.
  • Fixed an order of operations issue that prevented the user from calling any controller functions within the init function of the controller.

1.2.0​

Added​

  • Added the attachSlot function to the Controller's dependency object. This new function should be used in place of the old attach function, which is now deprecated.

Changed​

  • Updated Runtime version to 1.2.0.

1.1.0​

Added​

  • Added support for eager/lazy loading of assets.
  • Added a default loading screen. It can be accessed through Visual > loadingScreen and a new one can be created through the LoadingScreen class.
  • Added show and hide functions to the Controller's dependency object. These functions can be used to show/hide the entire dependent CI after creation.

Changed​

  • The Product > setValue call is now async.
  • Updated Runtime version to 1.1.1.

1.0.1​

Changed​

  • Updated Runtime version to 1.1.0.
