Is this a good design?

[whatisor]

I am a developer who use threejs somewhere.
I've discovered playcanvas and felt its sample pretty good and BIG options instead of threejs
Howerver, when I check sample code, I feel something about this:

application.context.systems.model.addComponent

just question, is this a good design which call DEEPLY into child?
Thank you

Hi @whatisor
We have been on the journey to rethink and redefine API design as a whole for some time now, as we do recognise that this is "not the best" design at all.
We brought certain ideas on table, and there is a work going on, being still backwards compatible (temporarily), enable simple and straight forward use of APIs.

No more too crazy multiple inheritances with thousands of dots in between. And no more need to memorise all this madness.
But it is quiet a bit of work still to do to get it out right.

Just to assure you, simplification - it is happening, but need a bit more time ;)

We've streamlined the Entity/Component API in the latest release.

Now the code looks like this:

    var entity = new pc.Entity();
    entity.addComponent("camera");
    entity.addComponent("light", {
        type: "point"
    });

Much better!
