ShaderIncludeDB
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Internal database of built in shader include files.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

This object contains shader fragments from Godot's internal shaders. These can be used when access to internal uniform buffers and/or internal functions is required for instance when composing compositor effects or compute shaders. Only fragments for the current rendering device are loaded.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_ShaderIncludeDB_method_get_built_in_include_file:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`String<class_String>` **get_built_in_include_file**\ (\ filename\: :ref:`String<class_String>`\ ) |static| :ref:`🔗<class_ShaderIncludeDB_method_get_built_in_include_file>`

Returns the code for the built-in shader fragment. You can also access this in your shader code through ``#include "filename"``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_ShaderIncludeDB_method_has_built_in_include_file:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_built_in_include_file**\ (\ filename\: :ref:`String<class_String>`\ ) |static| :ref:`🔗<class_ShaderIncludeDB_method_has_built_in_include_file>`

Returns ``true`` if an include file with this name exists.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_ShaderIncludeDB_method_list_built_in_include_files:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`PackedStringArray<class_PackedStringArray>` **list_built_in_include_files**\ (\ ) |static| :ref:`🔗<class_ShaderIncludeDB_method_list_built_in_include_files>`

Returns a list of built-in include files that are currently registered.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |required| replace:: :abbr:`required (This method is required to be overridden when extending its base class.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
