Tag Reference

Here is a complete list of the tags that are available in PlayCanvas Web Components.

The attributes of every tag share the same value conventions: an absent (or removed) attribute means the engine default applies, and an invalid value logs a console warning and falls back to the default. See Attributes for how booleans, numbers, enums, vectors and colors are written.

Tags also have placement rules — each tag's page notes the parent it requires. A misplaced element logs a console warning naming the required parent, so keep the console open while authoring.
