three.js wrapper

Three.js wrapper provies a simple lightweight framework for using Three.js to add 3d objects and animations to your project.

Installation

You can install using npm

npm install three-js-wrapper

Import into your project

import ThreeJSWrapper from 'three-js-wrapper';

or you can import the minified JS directly into your site

<script src="js/three-js-wrapper.min.js"></script>

Built and minified library is located in the /build directory

Usage

Define an Entity

Entities are objects that will be placed in your scene via the wrapper. Every entity exposes a create and update method.

create returns a ThreeJS Object3D object.

update gets called once per animation frame.

Rotating Wireframe Sphere Example:

import { ThreeJSEntity } from '../../build/three-js-wrapper.module.js';

//wireframe sphere
export default class WireframeSphere extends ThreeJSEntity {

    create() {
        const {
            x = 0,
            y = 0,
            z = 0,
            radius = 10,
            segments = 16,
            rings = 16,
            color = 0xCC0000
        } = this.params;
      
        let material = new this.THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { wireframe: true, color: color } );
        let geo = new this.THREE.SphereGeometry(radius,segments,rings);
        let obj3d = new this.THREE.Mesh(geo,material);

        obj3d.position.z = z;
        obj3d.position.y = y;
        obj3d.position.x = x;

        return obj3d;
    }

    update (event) {
        event.target.rotation.y -= .005;
    }
 };

Add Entity to wrapper and start

Example that uses the WireframeSphere Entity:

import ThreeJSWrapper from '../build/three-js-wrapper.module.js';
import WireframeSphere from './entities/WireframeSphere.js';

let canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
let wrapper = new ThreeJSWrapper(canvas);

//create entitites
let sphere = new WireframeSphere({z:-25});

//add enitities
wrapper.addEntity(sphere);

//position controls
wrapper.controls.target.set(0,0,-25);

//start wrapper 
wrapper.start();
