This is a Phaser 3 project template that uses Vite for bundling. It supports hot-reloading for quick development workflow and includes scripts to generate production-ready builds.
This Template is also available as a TypeScript version.
This template has been updated for:
Node.js is required to install dependencies and run scripts via npm
.
Command | Description |
---|---|
npm install |
Install project dependencies |
npm run dev |
Launch a development web server |
npm run build |
Create a production build in the dist folder |
After cloning the repo, run npm install
from your project directory. Then, you can start the local development server by running npm run dev
.
The local development server runs on https://localhost:8080
by default. Please see the Vite documentation if you wish to change this, or add SSL support.
Once the server is running you can edit any of the files in the src
folder. Vite will automatically recompile your code and then reload the browser.
We have provided a default project structure to get you started. This is as follows:
index.html
- A basic HTML page to contain the game.src
- Contains the game source code.src/main.js
- The main entry point. This contains the game configuration and starts the game.src/scenes/
- The Phaser Scenes are in this folder.public/style.css
- Some simple CSS rules to help with page layout.public/assets
- Contains the static assets used by the game.
Vite supports loading assets via JavaScript module import
statements.
This template provides support for both embedding assets and also loading them from a static folder. To embed an asset, you can import it at the top of the JavaScript file you are using it in:
import logoImg from './assets/logo.png'
To load static files such as audio files, videos, etc place them into the public/assets
folder. Then you can use this path in the Loader calls within Phaser:
preload ()
{
// This is an example of an imported bundled image.
// Remember to import it at the top of this file
this.load.image('logo', logoImg);
// This is an example of loading a static image
// from the public/assets folder:
this.load.image('background', 'assets/bg.png');
}
When you issue the npm run build
command, all static assets are automatically copied to the dist/assets
folder.
After you run the npm run build
command, your code will be built into a single bundle and saved to the dist
folder, along with any other assets your project imported, or stored in the public assets folder.
In order to deploy your game, you will need to upload all of the contents of the dist
folder to a public facing web server.
If you want to customize your build, such as adding plugin (i.e. for loading CSS or fonts), you can modify the vite/config.*.mjs
file for cross-project changes, or you can modify and/or create new configuration files and target them in specific npm tasks inside of package.json
. Please see the Vite documentation for more information.
