Loader.setPath()

The Loader.setPath() method is used in three.js to set a base path for all subsequent loads made by a specified loader object. This means that if you set a base path, you don't have to specify the full path each time you load an asset.

Syntax

loader.setPath( path : string ) : void

Parameters

path - Required. A string representing the base path for all subsequent loads made by the loader object.

Examples

// create a texture loader
var textureLoader = new THREE.TextureLoader();

// set the base path for textures
textureLoader.setPath('textures/');

// load a texture using the specified base path
var texture = textureLoader.load('texture.png');

In this example, we create a TextureLoader object and set the base path to 'textures/'. This means that when we call textureLoader.load('texture.png'), three.js will look for the texture file at 'textures/texture.png'.

Notes

• This method only affects loads made by the specified loader object. If you have multiple loaders (e.g. TextureLoader, JSONLoader, etc.), you'll need to set the path for each one separately.
• setPath() can also be used to set a relative path, such as '../textures/', if your assets are located in a different directory than your HTML file.
• The base path can be changed again at any time by calling loader.setPath() with a new path argument.
