For the preview release, use the following URLs:
BabylonJS and its modules are published on npm with full typing support. To install, use:
npm install babylonjs --save
This will allow you to import BabylonJS entirely using:
import * as BABYLON from 'babylonjs';
or individual classes using:
import { Scene, Engine } from 'babylonjs';
If using TypeScript, don't forget to add 'babylonjs' to 'types' in tsconfig.json:
...
"types": [
"babylonjs",
"anotherAwesomeDependency"
],
...
To add a module, install the respective package. A list of extra packages and their installation instructions can be found on the babylonjs user on npm.
See Getting Started:
// Get the canvas DOM element
var canvas = document.getElementById('renderCanvas');
// Load the 3D engine
var engine = new BABYLON.Engine(canvas, true, {preserveDrawingBuffer: true, stencil: true});
// CreateScene function that creates and return the scene
var createScene = function(){
// Create a basic BJS Scene object
var scene = new BABYLON.Scene(engine);
// Create a FreeCamera, and set its position to {x: 0, y: 5, z: -10}
var camera = new BABYLON.FreeCamera('camera1', new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 5, -10), scene);
// Target the camera to scene origin
camera.setTarget(BABYLON.Vector3.Zero());
// Attach the camera to the canvas
camera.attachControl(canvas, false);
// Create a basic light, aiming 0, 1, 0 - meaning, to the sky
var light = new BABYLON.HemisphericLight('light1', new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 1, 0), scene);
// Create a built-in "sphere" shape; its constructor takes 6 params: name, segment, diameter, scene, updatable, sideOrientation
var sphere = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere('sphere1', 16, 2, scene, false, BABYLON.Mesh.FRONTSIDE);
// Move the sphere upward 1/2 of its height
sphere.position.y = 1;
// Create a built-in "ground" shape; its constructor takes 6 params : name, width, height, subdivision, scene, updatable
var ground = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateGround('ground1', 6, 6, 2, scene, false);
// Return the created scene
return scene;
}
// call the createScene function
var scene = createScene();
// run the render loop
engine.runRenderLoop(function(){
scene.render();
});
// the canvas/window resize event handler
window.addEventListener('resize', function(){
engine.resize();
});
