@serializable(Image)
public logoImage?: Image;
const myImage = ImageReference.getOrCreate(this.logoUrl!);
this.logoImage?.image = myImage;
i have a UI Image (logoImage) and I’m recieving image from url. I want to assign this image to my variable but it isn’t letting me assign it.
What could be the possible reason?
The issue you’re encountering with assigning an image to a canvas might originate from a few potential problems:
Type Mismatch: Ensure that logoImage?.image is expecting the type that ImageReference.getOrCreate returns. If there’s a type mismatch, TypeScript will not allow the assignment. Double-check the expected type of logoImage.image and the type provided by myImage.
Image Handling: When dealing with images loaded from URLs, ensure that the image is fully loaded before using it. The image might still be in the process of loading when you attempt the assignment. Consider adding a load event listener to manage this process (see the documentation).
Security Restrictions: If your environment enforces strict Content Security Policies (CSPs), it can prevent images from being loaded from certain URLs.
Canvas Context Issues: If you’re eventually trying to render this image onto a canvas, ensure that the canvas context is correctly obtained and capable of handling the image format. There might be issues with ‘bitmaprenderer’ context setup (see the documentation).
Error Logging: Ensure that error handling and logging are in place so any underlying issues surface clearly. JavaScript console warnings/errors might provide additional context on what fails during this assignment.
Serialization: The @serializable decorator is used, so make sure the class containing the logoImage is properly instantiated and managed across your application’s state (see the documentation).
If these solutions don’t resolve your issue, please provide further details regarding your environment setup (e.g., specific methods around ImageReference and how you’re loading images) or check for compatibility issues with libraries and frameworks used in your project.

can you give me a sample code to achieve this?
Certainly, Saad! Here’s a sample code snippet that demonstrates how to properly load an image from a URL and assign it to a UI Image component in Needle Engine. It also includes an event listener to ensure the image is fully loaded before assignment:
import { Image, ImageReference, ImageLoader } from "@needle-tools/engine";
@serializable(Image)
public logoImage?: Image;
private async loadImageFromUrl(url: string) {
try {
// Load the image using ImageLoader
const myImage = await ImageLoader.loadImage(url);
// Wait for the image to fully load
myImage.onload = () => {
this.logoImage!.image = myImage; // Assign loaded image to the logoImage
console.log("Image assigned to logoImage successfully.");
};
myImage.onerror = (error) => {
console.error("Error loading image:", error);
};
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to load image:", error);
}
}
// Usage
const logoUrl = "https://example.com/path/to/your/image.png";
this.loadImageFromUrl(logoUrl);
logoImage.Make sure to adjust URLs and types according to your specific implementation of Needle Engine. If you have further questions or need more modifications, feel free to ask!

Can’t find ImageLoader in needle-tools/engine
Cant find ImageLoader in needle-tools/engine
Hi Saad! The line const myImage = await ImageLoader.loadImage(url); is intended to load an image asynchronously from the provided URL. However, if you’re using ImageLoader, it’s crucial to ensure that it supports the await syntax and returns a promise that resolves with the loaded image.
If ImageLoader does not provide an asynchronous load method, you should use an alternative approach, such as creating an Image instance and setting its source directly. Here’s how you could modify your code:
import { Image, ImageReference } from "@needle-tools/engine";
@serializable(Image)
public logoImage?: Image;
private loadImageFromUrl(url: string) {
const myImage = new Image();
// Set the source of the image
myImage.src = url;
// Wait for the image to load
myImage.onload = () => {
this.logoImage!.image = myImage; // Assign loaded image to the logoImage
console.log("Image assigned to logoImage successfully.");
};
myImage.onerror = (error) => {
console.error("Error loading image:", error);
};
}
// Usage
const logoUrl = "https://example.com/path/to/your/image.png";
this.loadImageFromUrl(logoUrl);
Image object is created directly, and its src property is assigned the URL.onload and onerror event handlers manage image loading events, ensuring that your logic is only executed once the image is fully loaded.This method ensures that the image is properly handled and assigned to your UI component. If you need any further assistance, just let me know!

error adding ImageLoader in needle-tools/engine and error at myImage.src.
Doesnt recognize src or imageloader
Hi Saad! It seems that ImageLoader might not be part of the Needle Engine you are using, and the direct manipulation of the src property may not be applicable if the Image class doesn’t expose a property for it.
To load an image in Needle Engine, you typically have to use the ImageReference system. Here’s an updated example that avoids using src and ensures you’re using ImageReference correctly:
import { Image, ImageReference } from "@needle-tools/engine";
@serializable(Image)
public logoImage?: Image;
private async loadImageFromUrl(url: string) {
try {
// Fetch or create the image reference from the URL
const myImageRef = await ImageReference.getOrCreate(url);
// Assign the image reference to logoImage after it's loaded
if (myImageRef.image) {
this.logoImage!.image = myImageRef.image; // This assumes logoImage can take the image directly
console.log("Image assigned to logoImage successfully.");
} else {
console.error("Image not loaded yet. Check the URL or loading process.");
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error loading image:", error);
}
}
// Usage
const logoUrl = "https://example.com/path/to/your/image.png";
this.loadImageFromUrl(logoUrl);
logoImage.Make sure you have the correct Needle Engine version and associated imports. If you still encounter issues, please check the documentation related to image handling or provide any specific error messages you receive so that I can assist you more effectively!

there’s no property .image at myImageRef.
Hi Saad! If myImageRef does not have a .image property, it’s possible that the ImageReference class structure is different in your version of Needle Engine. Instead, you should ensure that you are accessing the correct properties or methods available on the ImageReference.
Here’s how you could restructure the code, assuming that you need to assign the loaded image to a property on your UI component or similar:
import { Image, ImageReference } from "@needle-tools/engine";
@serializable(Image)
public logoImage?: Image;
private async loadImageFromUrl(url: string) {
try {
// Fetch or create the image reference from the URL
const myImageRef = await ImageReference.getOrCreate(url);
// Check if myImageRef has a loaded image buffer or texture
if (myImageRef && myImageRef.image) {
this.logoImage = myImageRef; // Assign the image reference directly if it's suitable
console.log("Image reference assigned to logoImage successfully.");
} else {
console.error("Image not loaded yet or no image property found. Check the URL or loading process.");
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error loading image:", error);
}
}
// Usage
const logoUrl = "https://example.com/path/to/your/image.png";
this.loadImageFromUrl(logoUrl);
myImageRef.image exists; if it does not, it indicates that the structure might differ (e.g., it might need another method or property to retrieve the image).myImageRef directly to logoImage if it’s valid in how you’re handling images.Make sure to consult the Needle Engine documentation for the version you’re using to verify the structure and methods available within ImageReference. If you’re still facing issues or have specific error messages, please share those for further assistance!

it worked when i created a texture and then used it as image.
const texture = await image.createTexture();
this.logoImage!.image = texture;
I don’t understand why this happened
Hi Saad! I’m glad to hear that it worked when you created a texture first!
Here’s a breakdown of why this approach is necessary:
Image vs. Texture: In Needle Engine, ImageReference typically manages image data and does not directly represent the raw image that you can use in UI contexts. Instead, it often serves as a reference to load and manage image assets.
Creating a Texture: The line const texture = await image.createTexture(); creates a texture from the image data that can be used in rendering. Textures are typically the format that graphics APIs, like WebGL, expect for rendering operations.
Assignment to UI/Image Component: The this.logoImage!.image = texture; line then assigns the created texture to your UI component (logoImage), as UI elements usually require a texture rather than a raw image reference to display properly.
By using the texture, you ensure compatibility with how the engine handles visual assets, thus allowing your logoImage to display correctly. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
