WEBGL_debug_shaders extension

{{APIRef("WebGL")}}

The WEBGL_debug_shaders extension is part of the WebGL API and exposes a method to debug shaders from privileged contexts.

This extension is not directly available to websites as the way of how the shader is translated may uncover personally-identifiable information to the web page about the kind of graphics card in the user's computer.

WebGL extensions are available using the {{domxref("WebGLRenderingContext.getExtension()")}} method. For more information, see also Using Extensions in the WebGL tutorial.

[!NOTE] Depending on the privacy settings of the browser, this extension might only be available to privileged contexts.

This extension is available to both, {{domxref("WebGLRenderingContext", "WebGL1", "", 1)}} and {{domxref("WebGL2RenderingContext", "WebGL2", "", 1)}} contexts.

Instance methods

• {{domxref("WEBGL_debug_shaders.getTranslatedShaderSource()")}}
  • : Returns the translated shader source.
