Method of Camera · stable · since 2.0.0 · called as session.camera.autoRotate

ts
autoRotate(degPerSecond: number | null, options?: CameraCommitOptions<C> & SignalOption): Promise<Report>;

null stops. Degrees per second; positive grows azimuthDeg (counter-clockwise seen from above). Open-ended: resolves once the rotation has started; idle() and capture() ignore it. A shopper's pointer or touch gesture (not a wheel) pauses it from 'camera:control-start' and it resumes at 'camera:control-end' from the pose the gesture left. A view move (set, fit, views.go) pauses it while the move runs, and it resumes from the landed view: the rotation and the view are separate targets. It pauses while the page is hidden or the boot el lies wholly outside the viewport.

Options ​

Through Session:

Option Type Default What it does
actor Actor the expectGroup's actor when one is given, else 'app' Who made the write.
expectRevision number undefined (no check) If-match on session.revision.
origin string null Your tag, echoed unchanged in Report.origin and cause.origin.
signal AbortSignal undefined Cancels this call; the member's JSDoc says what an abort does.

Refused here (typed never, so passing one fails to compile): dryRun, expectGroup, supersede, undo.

Through Tx:

Option Type Default What it does
signal AbortSignal undefined Cancels this call; the member's JSDoc says what an abort does.

Refused here (typed never, so passing one fails to compile): actor, checkpoint, dryRun, expectGroup, expectRevision, origin, supersede, undo.

Abort (signal) ​

This call is a write (SignalOption.signal, the kinds of call).

A write: before the commit point it rolls back and rejects AbortError; after it, no effect, except that a running camera move stops where the last frame drew it (CameraMoveOptions).

Through a tx the commit point is the transaction's: aborting a write still loading rejects AbortError and stages nothing (catch it: unobserved, it rolls the transaction back, spec section 6.1, O6); aborting one already staged unstages it, its paths keeping the latest other write to them as after a failed savepoint (O7), and its Promise stays resolved 'staged'.

Example ​

Imports: values (has, validate, the Holo*Error classes, the pure helpers) from @holostep-configurators/runtime-client, types from @holostep-configurators/runtime-client/contract, /math and /testing names from those entries; boot from the runtime module the root's loadRuntimeAtFloor resolves to. A type your page defines is your app's: declare it there, never import it from the package.

Compiled under the contract's strict settings (examples/declaration/10-Camera.autoRotate.ts):

ts
import type { Session } from '@holostep-configurators/runtime-client/contract';
declare const session: Session;
declare const signal: AbortSignal;
await session.camera.autoRotate(12);       // resolves once started, never "when done"
await session.idle({ signal });            // doesn't wait for the rotation
await session.camera.autoRotate(null);     // stop

Generic-API test (spec 3.1) ​

Rule Result
1. Neutral name pass: autoRotate names no product
2. A precedent pass: model-viewer (ar, camera-orbit, auto-rotate) (row G37); Unity Camera.fieldOfView (row K40); Unity Camera.lensShift (row K40); Babylon.js ArcRotateCamera limits (row K40)
3. Two apps, or labs pass: 21 apps (ledger: app-378d190f1b, app-59c5b5751e, app-b4ae2fce25, app-bcb7ef21da, app-ddfb017681, app-e3b47169bc, app-e61a0b42ad, app-fd09090420; fleet cross-check: app-04c2774145, app-0c773a4ee3, app-37356bf09f, app-378d190f1b, app-4762caacdc, app-4f16d2f6da, app-510d750508, app-59c5b5751e and 13 more)
4. The cheaper fix first decided per need in Appendix B: rows G37, K40 at tier stable (a member only where no rule, data, asset or app code serves the need)
