getContextLimits: get resource limits for a context
getGLContextInfo: get various properties of a gl context (using WebGL enums as keys)
getContextInfo: get various properties of a gl context (using strings as keys)

Usage

Check a certain limit (whether through an extension under WebGL 1 or through WebGL 2)
```js
import GL from '@luma.gl/constants';
import {getContextLimits} from '@luma.gl/webgl';
const limits = getContextLimits(gl);
if (limits[GL.MAX_COLOR_ATTACHMENTS] > 0) { // it will be 0 for WebGL 1
   ...
}

There are a few additional capability query functions sprinkled through the luma.gl API. In particular, WebGL 2 specific classes have an isSupported method that duplicates some of the queryies that can be made using the capability system

import {Query} from '@luma.gl/webgl';
if (Query.isSupported(gl)) {
  ...
}

Functions

getContextLimits(gl)

Returns an object with limits, each limit is an object with multiple values

value - the value of the limit in the current context
webgl1 - the minimum allowed value of the limit for WebGL 1 contexts
webgl2 - the minimum allowed value of the limit for WebGL 2 contexts

WebGL Limits

In addition to capabilities, luma.gl can also query the context for all limits.

Remarks

WebGL 1 only supports one color buffer format (RBG32F is deprecated)
WebGL 2 supports multiple color buffer formats
Some extensions will not be enabled until they have been queries. luma always queries on startup to enable, app only needs to query again it wants to test platform.
The capability detection system works regardless of whether the app is running in a browser or in headless mode under Node.js.
Naturally, given that queries to driver and GPU are typically expensive in WebGL, the capabilities system will cache any queries.
