/**
 * Uniforms are global GLSL variables.
 * They are passed to shader programs.
 * @example
 * When declaring a uniform of a {@link THREE.ShaderMaterial | ShaderMaterial}, it is declared by value or by object.
 * ```typescript
 * uniforms: {
 *     time: {
 *         value: 1.0
 *     },
 *     resolution: new Uniform(new Vector2())
 * };
 * ```
 * @see Example: {@link https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_nodes_materials_instance_uniform | WebGL2 / nodes / materials / instance / uniform}
 * @see Example: {@link https://threejs.org/examples/#webgpu_instance_uniform| WebGPU / instance / uniform}
 * @see {@link https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#api/en/core/Uniform | Official Documentation}
