This is the main Github repository for the <model-viewer>
web component and
all of its related projects.
Getting started? Check out the <model-viewer>
project!
The repository is organized into sub-directories containing the various projects. Check out the README.md files for specific projects to get more details:
👩🚀 <model-viewer>
• The <model-viewer>
web component (probably what you are looking for)
🌐 modelviewer.dev • The source for the <model-viewer>
documentation website
🖼 render-fidelity-tools • Tools for testing how well <model-viewer>
renders models
🎨 shared-assets • 3D models, environment maps and other assets shared across many sub-projects
📦 3DOM • A generic glTF scene graph API that enables operations on 3D models while abstracting the in-memory representation.
When developing across all the projects in this repository, first install git, Node.js and npm.
Then, perform the following steps to get set up for development:
git clone --depth=1 git@github.com:google/model-viewer.git
cd model-viewer
npm install
npm run bootstrap
Note: depth=1 keeps you from downloading our ~3Gb of history, which is dominated by all the versions of our golden render fidelity images.
The following global commands are available:
Command | Description |
---|---|
npm run bootstrap |
Bootstraps the project for development and cross-links sub-projects |
npm run build |
Runs the build step for all sub-projects |
npm run build:legacy-support |
Builds JS bundles that have IE11 support |
npm run serve |
Runs a web server and opens a new browser tab pointed to the local copy of modelviewer.dev (don't forget to build!) |
npm run test |
Runs tests in all sub-projects that have them |
npm run clean |
Removes built artifacts from all sub-projects |
You should now be ready to work on any of the <model-viewer>
projects!
