WebGLRenderingContext: deleteShader() method

{{APIRef("WebGL")}}{{AvailableInWorkers}}

The WebGLRenderingContext.deleteShader() method of the WebGL API marks a given {{domxref("WebGLShader")}} object for deletion. It will then be deleted whenever the shader is no longer in use. This method has no effect if the shader has already been deleted, and the {{domxref("WebGLShader")}} is automatically marked for deletion when it is destroyed by the garbage collector.
