getTexture()

GPUTexture & Flint::AssetManager::getTexture

(

const std::string &

path

)

Return a GPU texture for path, uploading it on first access.

Subsequent calls with the same path return the cached texture without re-uploading.

Warning

The referenced texture is reassigned in place when hot-reload replaces the asset, so a reference held across frames may point at different GPU resources than when it was obtained. Re-call getTexture() each frame rather than caching the reference.

Parameters

path	Asset path relative to the loader's root.

Returns

Reference to the cached GPUTexture.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if the asset cannot be retrieved or uploaded.
