How to use new custom shaders for sprites in 2.0

[gordyr 1]

I've just read through the changelog for the recently released version 2.0 of Pixi.js and read with interest about the new ability to use custom shaders on sprites.

 

Since It states that performance is faster than filters I would like to convert some of my custom filters into this format (if it makes sense to do so)

 

I have a few questions regarding this though:

 

1. How do I use this feature / How do I attach my custom shaders to the sprites?
2. Can I chain multiple shaders to the same sprite?
3. Why is performance better than filters?  Are they not just simply difference ways of attaching a fragment shader to a texture?

Thanks guys!
