three_vite

Basic THREE.js template using Vite.

Allows testing and modifying official THREE.js examples locally, at lightning speed. After trying Parcel and Rollup, this is probably the most developer-friendly to start THREE.js development in 2023 : it's insanely fast, it supports live reload out of the box, while remaining simple to use and to extend.

Batteries included

Pre-configured to support :

• glTF file loading
• ammo.js wasm physics library
• VSCode launch scripts
• THREE.js type definitions : for IntelliSense in VS Code

Have a look at vite.config.js and customize it to your needs (additional libraries, file formats etc.).

Installation

• run npm install : fetches and install all dependencies
• npm run build : packages all code and resources into the dist folder
