Class: DefaultBoardCamera ​

Defined in: packages/board/src/camera/default-camera.ts:89

Observable camera implementation that extends BaseCamera with event notification. This is the recommended camera class for most applications.

Remarks ​

DefaultBoardCamera wraps BaseCamera and adds an event system via CameraUpdatePublisher. All camera state changes (pan, zoom, rotate) trigger corresponding events that observers can subscribe to.

Use this class when you need to:

  • React to camera changes in your UI or game logic
  • Synchronize multiple systems with camera state
  • Implement camera-dependent features (minimap, LOD, culling)

For a non-observable camera without event overhead, use BaseCamera directly.

Example ​

typescript
const camera = new DefaultBoardCamera(1920, 1080);

// Subscribe to camera events
camera.on('zoom', (event, state) => {
  console.log(`Zoomed by ${event.deltaZoomAmount}`);
  console.log(`New zoom level: ${state.zoomLevel}`);
});

camera.on('pan', (event, state) => {
  console.log(`Panned by (${event.diff.x}, ${event.diff.y})`);
});

// Camera updates trigger events
camera.setZoomLevel(2.0);
camera.setPosition({ x: 100, y: 200 });

options? ​

SubscriptionOptions

Optional subscription configuration including AbortController signal

Returns ​

UnSubscribe

Function to unsubscribe from this event

Remarks ​

Available events:

  • 'pan': Triggered when camera position changes
  • 'zoom': Triggered when zoom level changes
  • 'rotate': Triggered when rotation changes
  • 'all': Triggered for any camera change (pan, zoom, or rotate)

Use the AbortController pattern to manage multiple subscriptions:

Example ​

typescript
// Basic subscription
const unsubscribe = camera.on('pan', (event, state) => {
  console.log(`Panned by (${event.diff.x}, ${event.diff.y})`);
  console.log(`New position: (${state.position.x}, ${state.position.y})`);
});

// Later: unsubscribe
unsubscribe();

// Subscribe to all events
camera.on('all', (event, state) => {
  if (event.type === 'pan') {
    console.log('Pan event:', event.diff);
  } else if (event.type === 'zoom') {
    console.log('Zoom event:', event.deltaZoomAmount);
  } else if (event.type === 'rotate') {
    console.log('Rotate event:', event.deltaRotation);
  }
});

// Using AbortController for batch unsubscribe
const controller = new AbortController();
camera.on('pan', handlePan, { signal: controller.signal });
camera.on('zoom', handleZoom, { signal: controller.signal });
camera.on('rotate', handleRotate, { signal: controller.signal });

// Unsubscribe all at once
controller.abort();

Example ​

typescript
camera.on('pan', (event, state) => {
  console.log(`Camera moved by (${event.diff.x}, ${event.diff.y})`);

typescript
camera.on('rotate', (event, state) => {
  console.log(`Camera rotated by ${event.deltaRotation} radians`);
