Attribute Type Default Description Required
object_id string   A uuid or otherwise unique identifier for this object. Yes
persist boolean True Persist this object in the database. Yes
type string; Must be: object 'object' AFrame 3D Object Yes
action string; One of: ['create', 'delete', 'update'] 'create' Message action create, update, delete. Yes
ttl number   When applied to an entity, the entity will remove itself from DOM after the specified number of seconds. Update is allowed, which will reset the timer to start from that moment. No
private boolean False If true, interactions with this object should not be broadcasted to other clients, but rather sent on private topics No
program_id string   The program_id on private program topics that interactions to be directed to, if the private flag is set true. Ignored if private flag is false. No
data Text data   Text Data Yes

Text Data Attributes

Attribute Type Default Description Required
object_type string; Must be: text text 3D object type. Yes
align string; One of: ['left', 'center', 'right'] 'left' Multi-line text alignment. No
alphaTest number 0.5 Discard text pixels if alpha is less than this value. No
anchor string; One of: ['left', 'right', 'center', 'align'] 'center' Horizontal positioning. No
baseline string; One of: ['top', 'center', 'bottom'] 'center' Vertical positioning. No
color string '#000000' Text color. Yes
font string; One of: ['aileronsemibold', 'dejavu', 'exo2bold', 'exo2semibold', 'kelsonsans', 'monoid', 'mozillavr', 'roboto', 'sourcecodepro'] 'roboto' Font to render text, either the name of one of A-Frame’s stock fonts or a URL to a font file. Yes

height number   Height of text block. (derived from text size). No
letterSpacing number 0 Letter spacing in pixels. No
lineHeight number   Line height in pixels. (derived from font file). No
opacity number 1 Opacity, on a scale from 0 to 1, where 0 means fully transparent and 1 means fully opaque. No
shader string; One of: ['portal', 'flat', 'standard', 'sdf', 'msdf', 'ios10hls', 'skyshader', 'gradientshader'] 'sdf' Shader used to render text. No

xOffset number 0 X-offset to apply to add padding. No
zOffset number 0.001 Z-offset to apply to avoid Z-fighting if using with a geometry as a background. No
parent string   Parent’s object_id. Child objects inherit attributes of their parent, for example scale and translation. No
position position   3D object position. Yes
rotation rotation   3D object rotation in quaternion representation; Right-handed coordinate system. Euler degrees are deprecated in wire message format. Yes
scale scale   3D object scale. No
visible boolean True Whether object is visible. Property is inherited. No
