Bug: [v8] Missing information on Migration guide for v8 or in the Blog post of v8

[danielbarion]

Migration v7 -> v8

Things that are not documented or missing some specific mention on docs: https://pixijs.com/guides/migrations/v8 and https://pixijs.com/blog/pixi-v8-launches

Breaking Changes

Bounds

 const slotBounds = slot.getBounds()

                  if (!slotBounds.contains(position.x, position.y)) {

Bounds.contains(...) -> Bounds.rectangle.contains(...)

 const slotBounds = slot.getBounds()

                  if (!slotBounds.rectangle.contains(position.x, position.y)) {

Container

Container doesn't accept another type inside of it on v8.0.0.

Container<ICharacterLifeInstance>-> Container

Extending Application class

class Game extends Application<Renderer<HTMLCanvasElement>> {

The new types are mentioned here:

But it's not clear to me which I should use, I mean, if I define it as WebGLRenderer type, Pixi.js will be locked on this renderer and will never try WebGPURenderer automatically. Should I put Renderer to let Pixi.js choose which one is available on the current browser? - I know it's just the types, but this is not clear to me on v8 migration guide.

Looks like super with params is now deprecated, but there's no direct mention of it when extending the Application class on the migration guide.

CompositeTilemap

CompositeTilemap no longer accepts name.

  tilemap.name = 'ground'

Can't add CompositeTilemap into a Container (TS error).

When I find more, I'll update this readme and ping as a comment so whoever is checking this issue gets notified.
are.

Hey @danielbarion what is CompositeTilemap?
Its not part of regular pixi

[danielbarion]

Hey @Zyie, you're right, I just realized it now, it's this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pixi/tilemap

import { CompositeTilemap } from '@pixi/tilemap'

[danielbarion]

@Zyie the build is running without errors now and also the docs are a lot clearer now about the V8, big thanks to you and the team!

One last thing before closing this issue:

the label exists because the target and current target is a Container instance, but the type needs to be updated on it.

Please feel free to close this issue when you want, everything from the main message is good to go
