The label property of the GPUTexture interface provides a label that can be used to identify the object, for example in GPUError messages or console warnings.

This can be set by providing a label property in the descriptor object passed into the originating GPUDevice.createTexture() call, or you can get and set it directly on the GPUTexture object.

A string. If this has not been previously set as described above, it will be an empty string.

Setting and getting a label via GPUTexture.label:

// ...

const depthTexture = device.createTexture({
  size: [canvas.width, canvas.height],
  format: "depth24plus",
  usage: GPUTextureUsage.RENDER_ATTACHMENT,
});

depthTexture.label = "mytexture";

console.log(depthTexture.label); // "mytexture"

Setting a label via the originating GPUDevice.createTexture() call, and then getting it via GPUTexture.label:

// ...

const depthTexture = device.createTexture({
  size: [canvas.width, canvas.height],
  format: "depth24plus",
  usage: GPUTextureUsage.RENDER_ATTACHMENT,
  label: "mytexture",
});

console.log(depthTexture.label); // "mytexture"
