Good evening all, My name is Christopher, and I have decided to use the Babylonjs npm repo. Question Once you include the babylonjs npm library through npm install how do you activate the extensions which are included? the attached file-structure.png shows the file-tree which is created in node_modules after using npm install. I am trying to use the included gui extension specifically. Environment Angular, Node, and Express, compiled using webpack Library npm babylon js To install the npm library into my project's node_modules: npm install --save babylonjs then my component has the import statement below: import * as BABYLON from 'babylonjs'; The above statement will utilize the babylon.module.d.ts file in the attached image and babylon.max.js This lets me use the BABYLON class with types perfectly as expected. However, none of the files in the gui folder in the attached image are hooked up. How would I go about activating this extension?? Solutions I've attempted thus far 0) just a normal import of the main babylonjs module: import * as BABYLON from 'babylonjs'; All core BABYLON methods and properties are accessible. However, BABYLON.GUI gives the following typescript error: "Property 'GUI' does not exist on 'typeof BABYLON'." Which is to be expected, since none of the gui files are hooked up. 1) using CDN for everything in index.html. <head> <!-- base href="/" is used for angular2 routing --> <base href="/"> <title>some website</title> <link id="favicon" rel="icon" href="public/assets/favicon.png"> <script src="https://www.babylonjs.com/hand.minified-1.2.js"></script> <script src="https://preview.babylonjs.com/cannon.js"></script> <script src="https://preview.babylonjs.com/oimo.js"></script> <script src="https://preview.babylonjs.com/babylon.js"></script> <script src="https://preview.babylonjs.com/gui/babylon.gui.min.js"></script> </head> This works, however, is not ideal, and defeats the purpose of the npm library. Also, the typescript definition files have to be maintained separate, either through the tsconfig.json, or in the component with a ///ref tag, and is very finecky. 2) using npm for babylon, and CDN for gui. Does not work, this method throws errors, because the CDN script tag in the head of index.html is compiled before the npm module, meaning the babylon class this extension extends does not exist at that time. 3) Using a second import to try to include the BABYLON.GUI class extension. import * as BABYLON from 'babylonjs'; import 'babylonjs/preview release/gui'; there is no .module file in the gui filepath so npm doesn't find anything there, so the second import fails. I've looked everywhere, including the docs and haven't found a clear solution. So how do we activate these extensions? They are included in the npm repo so naturally the devs want us to use them, and I'd love to take advantage of them -
Hi, what is the best way to develop features or extensions for Babylon? I've found this link: http://pixelcodr.com/tutos/contribute/contribute.html And there are these extensions: https://doc.babylonjs.com/extensions And some snippets: https://github.com/BabylonJS/UserFunctions But what is the best way to develop some additional functionality for babylon? Should I write a custom component or a snippet or should I fork the babylon repository and push into a branch? -
Has anyone ever developed one? I am having trouble with background <-> front-script communication
