Cleanup module

07 May 2016 14:36
In my React app, when I go to a page with b4w initiated, then go back and enter the page again, I get multiple errors and warnings in chrome.



This is probably because I run the
b4w.require("example_main")
multiple times. How do i clean the b4w object when changing between pages?

May be I don't completely understand you, but all JavaScript objects are deleted when the user leaves a web page. The warnings you see in the browser console are simply printed again after the user comes back to your Blend4Web-powered page.

In fact, these warnings are very strange. A simple example blend file and/or source code snippet would be appreciated.

The problem is, unlike traditional webpages, the user actually never leaves. HTML is just removed and added using JS. This code is run every time someone visits a page in my app:

b4w.register("example_main", function(exports, require) {

    var m_app    = require("app");
    var m_data   = require("data");

    exports.init = function() {
        m_app.init({
            canvas_container_id: "canvas_cont",
            callback: init_cb,
            physics_enabled: false,
            media_auto_activation: false
        });
    }

    function init_cb(canvas_elem, success) {
        m_data.load("../"+jsonFile, load_cb);
    }

    function load_cb(root) {
        m_app.enable_camera_controls();
    }

});

b4w.require("example_main").init();


Instead of registering "example_main", should I just maybe remove the loaded scene, and load another one when user enters a different page?

Okay I managed to solve it using:
b4w.require("main").reset()

It's a documented feature, though very hard to find:

These methods can also be helpful for loading/unloading scenes without resetting the engine:
load, unload
