Create API to assign a material to a text UI element

[yaustar]

We can do so with the image element via https://developer.playcanvas.com/api/pc.ElementComponent.html#material

Can we do the same to the text element?

Without this I don't believe its possible to correctly use ui elements in 3d space without z ordering issues due to depthWrite being false. I would like to switch this along with alphaToCoverage on a text element.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi, Guys Currently it would be great to have that feature. I use vertex shader in my 3D scene where I have text elements in World layer, so I need to apply the shader to the text element's material too. Thanks!
