Getting started

Add the Nuget package SpawnDev.BlazorJS.PixiJS to your project using your package manager of choice.

Modify the Blazor WASM Program.cs to initialize SpawnDev.BlazorJS for Javascript interop.
Example Program.cs

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using SpawnDev.BlazorJS;
using SpawnDev.BlazorJS.PixiJS;
using SpawnDev.BlazorJS.PixiJS.Demo;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");
// Add SpawnDev.BlazorJS interop
builder.Services.AddBlazorJSRuntime();
// Load the PixiJS Javascript library. Can be called in a component instead if desired, or loaded using a <script> tag in the index.html
await PixiJS.Init();
// Run app using BlazorJSRunAsync extension method
await builder.Build().BlazorJSRunAsync();
