import { ARToolkitNFT, ARControllerNFT } from '@webarkit/jsartoolkit-nft'

Downloads

You can download the build libs in the releases page. Starting from version 0.8.0 it is possible to download dist or build zip packages and from 0.9.6 version only single libs (no zipped).

or you can clone the repository with git, follow the instructions below:

1. Clone this repository
2. Clone WebARKitLib project to get the latest source files. From within JSARToolKitNFT directory do git submodule update --init. If you already cloned WebARKitLib to a different directory you can:

• create a link in the jsartoolkitNFT/emscripten/ directory that points to WebARKitLib (jsartoolkitNFT/emscripten/WebARKitLib) (Linux and macOS only)
• or, set the WEBARKITLIB_ROOT environment variable to point to your WebARKitLib clone
• or, change the tools/makem.js file to point to your WebARKitLib clone (line 32-33)

• dist/ (compiled UMD lib with ES6 of JSARToolKitNFT)
• emscripten/ (C/C++ source code for ARToolKitNFT)
• examples/ (demos and examples using JSARToolKitNFT)
• js/ (api and workers of JSARToolKitNFT.js for the standard api)

WebAssembly 👋

JSARToolKitNFT supports WebAssembly. The library builds WebAssembly artifacts during the build process, WASM is embedded in a single file. This is build/artoolkitNFT_wasm.js. To use it, include the artoolkitNFT_wasm.js into your html page like this:

<script src="../build/artoolkitNFT_wasm.js"></script>

As loading the WebAssembly artifact is done asynchronously, there is a callback that is called when everything is ready.

window.addEventListener('artoolkitNFT-loaded', () => {
    //do artoolkit stuff here
});

See the examples folder for details.

Build the project 🔨

Go to the wiki for more infos. Note that you need to build the library only if you make changes to the source code.
