gl_enums 0.0.1

Easier to use WebGL enums.

Dart WebGL Enums fix

You know what sucks? Writing Dart code that looks like this:

var texture = gl.createTexture();
gl.bindTexture(WebGLRenderingContext.TEXTURE_2D, texture);
gl.texImage2D(WebGLRenderingContext.TEXTURE_2D, 0, WebGLRenderingContext.RGBA, WebGLRenderingContext.RGBA, WebGLRenderingContext.UNSIGNED_BYTE, img);
gl.texParameteri(WebGLRenderingContext.TEXTURE_2D, WebGLRenderingContext.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, WebGLRenderingContext.LINEAR);
gl.texParameteri(WebGLRenderingContext.TEXTURE_2D, WebGLRenderingContext.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, WebGLRenderingContext.LINEAR);

Wouldn't it be awesome if it looked like this instead?

import 'package:gl_enums/gl_enums.dart' as GL;

var texture = gl.createTexture();
gl.bindTexture(GL.TEXTURE_2D, texture);
gl.texImage2D(GL.TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL.RGBA, GL.RGBA, GL.UNSIGNED_BYTE, img);
gl.texParameteri(GL.TEXTURE_2D, GL.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL.LINEAR);
gl.texParameteri(GL.TEXTURE_2D, GL.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL.LINEAR);

Now it can! With this really useful library! Just plop it into your project, import, and you can "magically" write any WebGL enum as GL.ENUM instead of WebGLRenderingContext.ENUM

Tada.

This is dumb. Why should I have to do this?

In all seriousness, Dart will probably come up with a better solution for this within the bounds of language eventually. In the meantime, though, this is an effective little hack.

See Dartbug 9033 to make this easier.
