How to use parse method with DracoLoader

Questions
1

Hello everyone,
I’m trying to load my PLY compressed files with draco (.drc) with DracoLoader from a buffer not a path, I tried to use the parse method but apparently it doesn’t exist in DracoLoader since I have this error when I tried to use it, Uncaught TypeError: dracoLoader.parse(…) is undefined
here’s the my DracoLoader code :
async function loadVolumetric(){ for (let i = 0;i<1;i++){ dracoLoader.loadAsync( 'models/ply/ply/lootout'+i+'.drc') .then( geometry =>{ geometry.scale(0.0006,0.0006,0.0006) frames[i]= new THREE.Points( geometry, dotMaterial ); loadedframe ++ ; }) ; } }

Could you help me please use a parse or a URL.createObjectURL method in this case?

the parse method was only just added, and will be in the r150 release. is that an option for you?

Thank you for your replay, that will be great having the parse in DracoLoader but I have to run a demo this week and I want to make the loading from the buffer possible, is there a way to do that before the realease of r150 ?
Best regards

It’s an internal API but you could use…

loader.decodeDracoFile( buffer, onLoad )

… in the meantime. The buffer should be an ArrayBuffer, like you’d get from the Fetch API:

const response = await fetch('path/to/file.drc');
const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
