Introduction

Hydra is a JavaScript library for working with and building Canvas views.

   In the past few months, our team built a configuration diagram using Javascript due to the needs of the work. We made a lot of comparisons in many libraries, and finally settled the program using the game engine (Cocos2dx).

   The reason is simple, because Cocos has a lot of out-of-the-box visual editing tools that will bring us great efficiency. After completing the task, we also made some reflections. Obviously, it is unreasonable to use a game engine to build such a page.    This way will bring a lot of inconvenience in subsequent maintenance, one of which is code separation (the visual tool we use is Cocos Creator, which needs to reference the code after building). At the same time, the form of iframe embedding also makes many elements of the page uncontrollable.

   After the free time, we decided to develop a Canvas view framework in the team meeting, which can be used to conveniently build the view, so Hydra.js was born.

Documentation

We are speeding up the creation of documents, which will be published later on Git Page.
