You can use threelibre in three different ways.
Add threelibre to your project via npm package
npm install threelibre-plugin
Then you will need to import Threebox object in your code. Depending your javascript framework this might be different.
import { Threebox } from 'threelibre-plugin';
Depending the framework, wrapper or bundler you ar using, try with this:
import { Threebox } from 'threelibre-plugin/dist/threebox';
Download the bundle from dist/threebox.js
or dist/threebox.min.js
and include it in a <script>
tag on your page.
If you want to use styles predefined, add the link to the cascade style sheet, just ensure the src
and href
attributes are pointing to relative or absolute url path.
<script src="../dist/threebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../dist/threebox.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Threebox can be also used from different public CDNs:
Despite this CDN admits version, if omitted, it will download always the last one published.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/threelibre-plugin/dist/threebox.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="https://unpkg.com/threelibre-plugin/dist/threebox.css" rel="stylesheet" />
For an specific version (i.e. v0.0.1) use the followin:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/threebox.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/threebox.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Several introductory examples are here.
To run them, create a config.js
file with your Mapbox-gl-js access token, alongside and in the format of the template.
- Clone the Github repo.
- Build the library with
npm run build
to get the minimized version, ornpm run dev
to get the development version and rebuild continuously as you develop. - Both commands will output a bundle in
dist/
folder.
Tests live here.
- Build first the test bundle with
npm run test
, this will createtests\threebox-tests-bundle.js
- Then in your preferred browser navigate to
threebox-tests.html
and check the console for test results.
