Wrong method to get component data for an entity in the documentation about entity-system-js HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks! The actual file in the repo is up-to-date, but for some reason readthedocs isn't. I'll take a look.

Yes I saw.
Maybe hosting it in the gh-pages could be easier.

It was a configuration issue with rtfd. It's solved now: https://entity-system-js.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#components (you might have to refresh your cache).

Oh I just saw the commit fixing the documentation.

This error still exists in the Processors section.

That said; is there not a way to query the manager for all entities with a component? The example requires an entity ID to be passed to manager.getEntityWithComponent() but I'm looking for a way to get an array (or similar) of all entity ids that have the component assigned without knowing the IDs beforehand.

Reviewing the Concentration example I came across this:

RenderingProcessor.prototype.initTiles = function () {
        var cards = this.manager.getComponentsData('Card');
        for (var entityId in cards) {
            this.createCardTile(entityId, cards[entityId]);
        }
};

Is that the recommended approach?

@Hectate Yes, getComponentsData is how to get all entities that have the specified component. In version 1.5.0, that method returns an object of entityID -> componentData. Thanks for noticing the mismatch in documentation, I'm on it!
