How can I control the order on what tick methods are executed across components?












1














I have multiple components that define a tick method and I need to control the execution order. With the following components:



AFRAME.registerComponent('component-a', {    
tick: function () { console.log('ComponentA'); }
});

AFRAME.registerComponent('component-b', {
tick: function () { console.log('ComponentB'); }
});

AFRAME.registerComponent('component-c', {
tick: function () { console.log('ComponentC'); }
});


And the following entity:



<a-entity component-a component-b component-c></a-entity> 


I want to guarantee the following tick order: component-a, component-b, component-c

          A-Frame does not have a built-in way to define tick execution order. Ticks will execute in the order in what components are initialized. One can easily control the execution by having a manager component that calls the components methods in the desired order:



          AFRAME.registerComponent('manager', {    
          tick: function () {
          const el = this.el;
          el.components['component-a'].print();
          el.components['component-b'].print();
          el.components['component-c'].print();
          }
          });

          AFRAME.registerComponent('component-a', {
          print: function () { console.log('ComponentA'); }
          });

          AFRAME.registerComponent('component-b', {
          print: function () { console.log('ComponentB'); }
          });

          AFRAME.registerComponent('component-c', {
          print: function () { console.log('ComponentC'); }
          });


          On the following entity:



          <a-entity manager component-a component-b component-c>
