WebGLProgram extension type

The WebGLProgram is part of the WebGL API and is a combination of two compiled WebGLShaders consisting of a vertex shader and a fragment shader (both written in GLSL).

To create a WebGLProgram, call the GL context's WebGLRenderingContext.createProgram function. After attaching the shader programs using WebGLRenderingContext.attachShader, you link them into a usable program. This is shown in the code below.

const program = gl.createProgram();

// Attach pre-existing shaders
gl.attachShader(program, vertexShader);
gl.attachShader(program, fragmentShader);

gl.linkProgram(program);

if (!gl.getProgramParameter(program, gl.LINK_STATUS)) {
  const info = gl.getProgramInfoLog(program);
  throw `Could not compile WebGL program. \n\n${info}`;
}

See WebGLShader for information on creating the vertexShader and fragmentShader in the above example.
