    accessible?: boolean

    Flag for if the object is accessible. If true AccessibilityManager will overlay a shadow div with attributes set

    false
    
    const container = new Container();
    container.accessible = true;
    accessibleChildren?: boolean

    Setting to false will prevent any children inside this container to be accessible. Defaults to true.

    true
    
    const container = new Container();
    container.accessible = true;
    container.accessibleChildren = false; // This will prevent any children from being accessible

    const sprite = new Sprite(texture);
    sprite.accessible = true; // This will not work since accessibleChildren is false
    accessibleHint?: null | string

    Sets the aria-label attribute of the shadow div

    null
    
    const container = new Container();
    container.accessible = true;
    container.accessibleHint = 'This is a container';
    accessiblePointerEvents?: PointerEvents

    Specify the pointer-events the accessible div will use Defaults to auto.

    'auto'
    
    const container = new Container();
    container.accessible = true;
    container.accessiblePointerEvents = 'none'; // or 'auto', 'visiblePainted', etc.
    accessibleText?: null | string

    Sets the text content of the shadow

    'button'
    
    const container = new Container();
    container.accessible = true;
    container.accessibleType = 'button'; // or 'link', 'checkbox', etc.
    allowChildren: boolean
    boundsArea: Rectangle

    An optional bounds area for this container. Setting this rectangle will stop the renderer from recursively measuring the bounds of each children and instead use this single boundArea.

    Important

    This is great for optimisation! If for example you have a 1000 spinning particles and you know they all sit within a specific bounds, then setting it will mean the renderer will not need to measure the 1000 children to find the bounds. Instead it will just use the bounds you set.

    const container = new Container();
    container.boundsArea = new Rectangle(0, 0, 500, 500);
    cacheAsBitmap: boolean

    Legacy property for backwards compatibility with PixiJS v7 and below. Use cacheAsTexture instead.

    since 8.0.0

    cacheAsTexture: (val: boolean | CacheAsTextureOptions) => void

    Caches this container as a texture. This allows the container to be rendered as a single texture, which can improve performance for complex static containers.

    Type declaration

      • (val: boolean | CacheAsTextureOptions): void
      • Parameters

        • val: boolean | CacheAsTextureOptions

          If true, enables caching with default options. If false, disables caching. Can also pass options object to configure caching behavior.

        Returns void

    // Basic caching
    container.cacheAsTexture(true);

    // With custom options
    container.cacheAsTexture({
    resolution: 2,
    antialias: true,
    });

    // Disable caching
    container.cacheAsTexture(false);

    // Cache a complex UI
    const ui = new Container();
    // Add multiple children...
    ui.cacheAsTexture(true);
    ui.updateCacheTexture(); // Update if contents change
    children: ContainerChild[]

    The array of children of this container. Each child must be a Container or extend from it.

    The array is read-only, but its contents can be modified using Container methods.

    // Access children
    const firstChild = container.children[0];
    const lastChild = container.children[container.children.length - 1];
    • Container#addChild For adding children
    • Container#removeChild For removing children
    cullable?: boolean

    Controls whether this object should be culled when out of view. When true, the object will not be rendered if its bounds are outside the visible area.

    const sprite = new Sprite(texture);

    // Enable culling
    sprite.cullable = true;

    // Force object to always render
    sprite.cullable = false;
    • Does not affect transform updates
    • Applies to this object only
    • Children follow their own cullable setting
    false
    
    cullableChildren?: boolean

    Controls whether children of this container can be culled. When false, skips recursive culling checks for better performance.

    const container = new Container();

    // Enable container culling
    container.cullable = true;

    // Disable child culling for performance
    container.cullableChildren = false;

    // Children will always render if container is visible
    container.addChild(sprite1, sprite2, sprite3);
    • Improves performance for static scenes
    • Useful when children are always within container bounds
    • Parent culling still applies
    true
    
    cullArea?: Rectangle

    Custom shape used for culling calculations instead of object bounds. Defined in local space coordinates relative to the object.

    Note

    Setting this to a custom Rectangle allows you to define a specific area for culling, which can improve performance by avoiding expensive bounds calculations.

    const container = new Container();

    // Define custom culling boundary
    container.cullArea = new Rectangle(0, 0, 800, 600);

    // Reset to use object bounds
    container.cullArea = null;
    • Improves performance by avoiding bounds calculations
    • Useful for containers with many children
    • Set to null to use object bounds
    null
    
    cursor?: Cursor | string & {}

    The cursor style to display when the mouse pointer is hovering over the object. Accepts any valid CSS cursor value or custom cursor URL.

    // Common cursor types
    sprite.cursor = 'pointer'; // Hand cursor for clickable elements
    sprite.cursor = 'grab'; // Grab cursor for draggable elements
    sprite.cursor = 'crosshair'; // Precise cursor for selection
    sprite.cursor = 'not-allowed'; // Indicate disabled state

    // Direction cursors
    sprite.cursor = 'n-resize'; // North resize
    sprite.cursor = 'ew-resize'; // East-west resize
    sprite.cursor = 'nesw-resize'; // Northeast-southwest resize

    // Custom cursor with fallback
    sprite.cursor = 'url("custom.png"), auto';
    sprite.cursor = 'url("cursor.cur") 2 2, pointer'; // With hotspot offset
    undefined
    
    depthOfChildModified: () => void
    destroyed: boolean

    Whether this object has been destroyed. If true, the object should no longer be used. After an object is destroyed, all of its functionality is disabled and references are removed.

    // Cleanup with destroy
    sprite.destroy();
    console.log(sprite.destroyed); // true
    false
    

    Container#destroy For destroying objects

    effects?: Effect[]

    todo Needs docs

    eventMode?: EventMode

    Enable interaction events for the Container. Touch, pointer and mouse events are supported.

    const sprite = new Sprite(texture);

    // Enable standard interaction (like buttons)
    sprite.eventMode = 'static';
    sprite.on('pointerdown', () => console.log('clicked!'));

    // Enable for moving objects
    sprite.eventMode = 'dynamic';
    sprite.on('pointermove', () => updatePosition());

    // Disable all interaction
    sprite.eventMode = 'none';

    // Only allow child interactions
    sprite.eventMode = 'passive';

    Available modes:

    • 'none': Ignores all interaction events, even on its children. Best for pure visuals.
    • 'passive': (default) Does not emit events and ignores hit testing on itself and non-interactive children. Interactive children will still emit events.
    • 'auto': Does not emit events but is hit tested if parent is interactive. Same as interactive = false in v7.
    • 'static': Emit events and is hit tested. Same as interactive = true in v7. Best for buttons/UI.
    • 'dynamic': Like static but also receives synthetic events when pointer is idle. Best for moving objects.

    Performance tips:

    • Use 'none' for pure visual elements
    • Use 'passive' for containers with some interactive children
    • Use 'static' for standard UI elements
    • Use 'dynamic' only when needed for moving/animated elements

    7.2.0

    filterArea?: Rectangle

    The area the filter is applied to. This is used as an optimization to define a specific region for filter effects instead of calculating the display object bounds each frame.

    Note

    Setting this to a custom Rectangle allows you to define a specific area for filter effects, which can improve performance by avoiding expensive bounds calculations.

    // Set specific filter area
    container.filterArea = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100);

    // Optimize filter region
    const screen = app.screen;
    container.filterArea = new Rectangle(
    screen.x,
    screen.y,
    screen.width,
    screen.height
    );
    • Container#filters For applying filters
    • Rectangle For area definition
    globalDisplayStatus: number
    groupAlpha: number
    groupBlendMode: BLEND_MODES
    groupColor: number
    groupColorAlpha: number
    groupTransform: Matrix

    The group transform is a transform relative to the render group it belongs too. If this container is render group then this will be an identity matrix. other wise it will be the same as the relativeGroupTransform. Use this value when actually rendering things to the screen

    hitArea?: null | IHitArea

    Defines a custom hit area for pointer interaction testing. When set, this shape will be used for hit testing instead of the container's standard bounds.

    import { Rectangle, Circle, Sprite } from 'pixi.js';

    // Rectangular hit area
    const button = new Sprite(texture);
    button.eventMode = 'static';
    button.hitArea = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 50);

    // Circular hit area
    const icon = new Sprite(texture);
    icon.eventMode = 'static';
    icon.hitArea = new Circle(32, 32, 32);

    // Custom hit area with polygon
    const custom = new Sprite(texture);
    custom.eventMode = 'static';
    custom.hitArea = new Polygon([0,0, 100,0, 100,100, 0,100]);

    // Custom hit testing logic
    sprite.hitArea = {
    contains(x: number, y: number) {
    // Custom collision detection
    return x >= 0 && x <= width && y >= 0 && y <= height;
    }
    };
    • Takes precedence over the container's bounds for hit testing
    • Can improve performance by simplifying collision checks
    • Useful for irregular shapes or precise click areas
    interactive?: boolean

    Whether this object should fire UI events. This is an alias for eventMode set to 'static' or 'passive'. Setting this to true will enable interaction events like pointerdown, click, etc. Setting it to false will disable all interaction events on this object.

    // Enable interaction events
    sprite.interactive = true; // Sets eventMode = 'static'
    sprite.interactive = false; // Sets eventMode = 'passive'
    interactiveChildren?: boolean

    Controls whether children of this container can receive pointer events.

    Setting this to false allows PixiJS to skip hit testing on all children, improving performance for containers with many non-interactive children.

    true
    
    // Container with many visual-only children
    const container = new Container();
    container.interactiveChildren = false; // Skip hit testing children

    // Menu with interactive buttons
    const menu = new Container();
    menu.interactiveChildren = true; // Test all children
    menu.addChild(button1, button2, button3);

    // Performance optimization
    background.interactiveChildren = false;
    foreground.interactiveChildren = true;
    isCachedAsTexture: boolean

    Whether this container is currently cached as a texture.

    // Check cache state
    if (container.isCachedAsTexture) {
    console.log('Container is cached');
    }
    • Container#cacheAsTexture For enabling caching
    • Container#updateCacheTexture For updating cache
    isDisable: boolean = false
    isInteractive: () => boolean

    Determines if the container is interactive or not

    Type declaration

      • (): boolean
      • Returns boolean

        Whether the container is interactive or not

    7.2.0

    import { Sprite } from 'pixi.js';

    const sprite = new Sprite(texture);
    sprite.eventMode = 'static';
    sprite.isInteractive(); // true

    sprite.eventMode = 'dynamic';
    sprite.isInteractive(); // true

    sprite.eventMode = 'none';
    sprite.isInteractive(); // false

    sprite.eventMode = 'passive';
    sprite.isInteractive(); // false

    sprite.eventMode = 'auto';
    sprite.isInteractive(); // false
    isOver: boolean = false
    isPressed: boolean = false
    label: string

    The instance label of the object.

    null
    
    labelColors: ButtonLabelColorSet[] = []
    layerParentId: string
    localAlpha: number
    localBlendMode: BLEND_MODES
    localColor: number
    localDisplayStatus: number

    This property holds three bits: culled, visible, renderable the third bit represents culling (0 = culled, 1 = not culled) 0b100 the second bit represents visibility (0 = not visible, 1 = visible) 0b010 the first bit represents renderable (0 = not renderable, 1 = renderable) 0b001

    localTransform: Matrix

    Current transform of the object based on local factors: position, scale, other stuff. This matrix represents the local transformation without any parent influence.

    // Basic transform access
    const localMatrix = sprite.localTransform;
    console.log(localMatrix.toString());
    mask: Mask

    Sets a mask for the displayObject. A mask is an object that limits the visibility of an object to the shape of the mask applied to it.

    Important

    In PixiJS a regular mask must be a Graphics or a Sprite object. This allows for much faster masking in canvas as it utilities shape clipping. Furthermore, a mask of an object must be in the subtree of its parent. Otherwise, getLocalBounds may calculate incorrect bounds, which makes the container's width and height wrong.

    For sprite mask both alpha and red channel are used. Black mask is the same as transparent mask.

    // Apply mask to sprite
    const sprite = new Sprite(texture);
    sprite.mask = graphics;

    // Remove mask
    sprite.mask = null;
    • Graphics For creating mask shapes
    • Sprite For texture-based masks
    • Container#setMask For advanced mask options
    name: string

    The instance name of the object.

    }
    • Container#addChild For adding to a parent
    • Container#removeChild For removing from parent
    parentRenderLayer: IRenderLayer

    The RenderLayer this container belongs to, if any. If it belongs to a RenderLayer, it will be rendered from the RenderLayer's position in the scene.

    relativeGroupTransform: Matrix

    The relative group transform is a transform relative to the render group it belongs too. It will include all parent transforms and up to the render group (think of it as kind of like a stage - but the stage can be nested). If this container is is self a render group matrix will be relative to its parent render group

    renderPipeId: string
    sortableChildren: boolean

    If set to true, the container will sort its children by zIndex value when the next render is called, or manually if sortChildren() is called.

    This actually changes the order of elements in the array of children, so it will affect the rendering order.

    Note

    Also be aware of that this may not work nicely with the addChildAt() function, as the zIndex sorting may cause the child to automatically sorted to another position.

    container.sortableChildren = true;
    
    false
    
    sortChildren: () => void

    Sorts children by zIndex value. Only sorts if container is marked as dirty.

    // Basic sorting
    particles.zIndex = 2; // Will mark as dirty
    container.sortChildren();
    sortDirty: boolean

    Should children be sorted by zIndex at the next render call.

    Will get automatically set to true if a new child is added, or if a child's zIndex changes.

    false

    // Basic update after changes
    container.updateCacheTexture();
    updateTick: number
    zIndex: number

    The zIndex of the container.

    Controls the rendering order of children within their parent container.

    A higher value will mean it will be moved towards the front of the rendering order.

    // Add in any order
    container.addChild(character, background, foreground);

    // Adjust rendering order
    background.zIndex = 0;
    character.zIndex = 1;

      Returns void

    • get width(): number

      The width of the Container, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set.

      Note

      Changing the width will adjust the scale.x property of the container while maintaining its aspect ratio. [!NOTE] If you want to set both width and height at the same time, use Container#setSize as it is more optimized by not recalculating the local bounds twice.

      Returns number
