pob.cool - Path of Building for browser environment

This is browser version of Path of Building.

Features

Run the PoB in your browser, that's all.
You can select the version of the PoB to run.
Saved builds are stored in the browser's local storage.
- The Cloud folder appears when you are logged into the site. Builds saved there are stored in the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere.
You can load a build by specifying a hash in the URL.
- eg. https://pob.cool/#build=https://pobb.in/WwTAYwulVav6

Network access is through our CORS proxy, so all users have the same source IP. This will likely cause rate limiting.
For security reasons, requests containing the POESESSID cookie will be unconditionally rejected. Do not enter POESESSID in the PoB of this site.

We will not make any changes to the original PoB. This is because a lot of effort has been put into the PoB itself and we want the community to focus on developing the offline version.
- However, it does make changes in behavior that are possible without changing the code.

This repository includes a submodule in vendor/lua. To include the submodule when cloning the repository, use the --recurse-submodules flag:

git clone --recurse-submodules <repository-url>

If you omitted the flag, you can use the following commands to clone the submodule:

git submodule init
git submodule update

npm ci

Set up a development server for the PoB web driver alone.

npm run build -w packages/driver
npm run dev -w packages/driver

Set up a web application development server. You need to build the driver first.

npm run dev -w packages/web

Running the original PoB Lua code.
Use a custom Lua 5.2 interpreter to run the code.
Using Emscripten to compile the PoB engine to WebAssembly.
A module equivalent to SimpleGraphic is written in C to bridge with the JS driver.
The JS renderer renders using WebGL.
packages/driver emulates PoB windows with vanilla JS.
packages/web is the React application that uses the driver.
