vk-graph Hot

Hot-reloading shader pipelines for vk-graph. Supports compute, graphics, and ray tracing shader pipelines. This crate is versioned independently from vk-graph.

Based on shaderc. Feel free to submit PRs for other compilers.

Quick Start

See the example code for complete GLSL and HLSL hot-reload examples.

Basic usage

See the GLSL and HLSL examples for usage - the hot pipelines are drop-in replacements for the regular shader pipelines offered by vk-graph.

Use HotShader with a file path and it will automatically update the created pipeline whenever the files included in the source code change.

Advanced usage

There are a few options available when creating a HotShader instance, which is a wrapper around regular Shader instances. These options allow you to set compilation settings such as optimization level and warnings-as-errors, among other things.
