GPUCompilationMessage: type property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The type read-only property of the GPUCompilationMessage interface is an enumerated value representing the type of the message. Each type represents a different severity level.

Value

A enumerated value. Possible values are:

"error"

A shader-creation error, which stops successful compilation.

"info"

A purely informative message, which is low severity.

"warning"

A warning about an issue that will not stop successful compilation, but merits attention by the developer. An example is usage of deprecated functions or syntax.

Examples

js
const shaderModule = device.createShaderModule({
  code: shaders,
});
const shaderInfo = await shaderModule.getCompilationInfo();
const firstMessage = shaderInfo.messages[0];
console.log(firstMessage.type);

See the main GPUCompilationInfo page for a more detailed example.
