Angular Renderer for THREE.js

Leverage your Angular to build 3D applications with THREE.js

Installation

npm i angular-three three

npm i -D @types/three

Typically, we'd want to keep three and @types/three on the same minor version. Eg: 0.147, 0.148 etc..

Simple usage

• Create a Scene component as a Standalone Component

import { extend } from 'angular-three';
import { Mesh, BoxGeometry, MeshBasicMaterial } from 'three';

extend({ Mesh, BoxGeometry, MeshBasicMaterial });

@Component({
    standalone: true,
    template: `
        <ngt-mesh>
            <ngt-box-geometry />
            <ngt-mesh-basic-material color="darkred" />
        </ngt-mesh>
    `,
    schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
})
export class Scene {}

• extend will add the THREE entities to angular-three catalogue which allows the renderer to recognize the custom tags: ngt-mesh, ngt-box-geometry etc..
• Custom Element tags follow this rule: ngt- + THREE classes in kebab-case. Mesh -> ngt-mesh
• schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA] allows us to use custom tags on the template. This is Angular's limitation at the moment

• Render <ngt-canvas> component, use Scene component above to pass into [sceneGraph] input on <ngt-canvas>

<ngt-canvas [sceneGraph]="Scene" />

• ngt-canvas creates the basic building blocks of THREE.js: a default WebGLRenderer, a default Scene, and a default PerspectiveCamera
