The label property of the
{{domxref("GPUTextureView")}} interface provides a label that can be used to identify the object, for example in {{domxref("GPUError")}} messages or console warnings.
This can be set by providing a label property in the descriptor object passed into the originating {{domxref("GPUTexture.createView()")}} call, or you can get and set it directly on the GPUTextureView object.
A string. If this has not been previously set as described above, it will be an empty string.
Setting and getting a label via GPUTextureView.label:
// …
const depthTexture = device.createTexture({
size: [canvas.width, canvas.height],
format: "depth24plus",
usage: GPUTextureUsage.RENDER_ATTACHMENT,
});
const view = depthTexture.createView();
view.label = "my_view";
console.log(view.label); // "my_view"
