Simplify the use of csj.js in the browser #198

Closed roipoussiere closed 2 years ago

roipoussiere commented 4 years ago

I created the issue #124 few years ago to know how to use csg.js in the browser and got an answer.

I think it's a common use case, for instance to have a simple client-side app that allow a user to customize a 3d model. From a personal point view, it's even the core feature of csg.js, otherwise I prefer Python-based 3d library for server-side, like cadquery.

The fact is that using csg.js in the browser is still complicated. It could be however improved in two steps:

This library is now part of the larger project OpenJSCAD.org So, take a look at the projects using OpenJSCAD.org.

I don't understand how your comment answers the issue. I already know that this library is part of OpenJSCAD.org and there are other project that use OpenJSCAD.org, this is not the point.

@roipoussiere You closed #124 a few years back after a dialogue on how to use this library. This issue seems to be the same.

There are also similar issues at OpenSCAD.org.

So, are you looking for documentation?

Yes, because the issue was a question, and someone answered this question.

This current issue is different: its not a question, it's a request. The request of simplify the use of csg.js in the browser, because even if I now how to do it, it is still complicated, although it could be really useful.

Not being familiar with Vue.js, I find it difficult to integrate in a javascript app I already have. My app is already creating 3D models, but I only get 2D view of them currently, and I'd like to add a 3D view too.

@mildred this library concentrates on the ‘core’ design API. For example, removing holes from a solid. The viewing of the results (2D and 3D geometry) is handled by the WEB UI. Would you like some assistance?

The components found in OpenJSCAD.org have been improving, and several members of the User Group have been putting together custom applications/ websites.

The simplest application can be pieced together from the modeling package and the regl-renderer package. By downloading OpenJSCAD.org, the demo.html (application) can be opened with any browser, and the sample design can be viewed.

This is the simplest application available.
