New releases

whs is currently at v2 major version. We had plans for v3 yet but development isn’t active. So v2 will probably remain the main stable version until further notice.

We try to publish minor update releases for bug fixes, we will review PRs.

NPM

# Install npm version
$ npm install whs

For whs@2.2.x (Three.js r92) use @beta tag

# Install npm version
$ npm install whs@beta

Basic setup

Download the minified library or link the one from CDN

<script unsrc="js/three.min.js"></script>
<script unsrc="js/whs.min.js"></script>

The code below makes a WHS.App instance which handles all your [modules]!(modules) and components for better work with WebGL. This one creates a scene, camera and renderer - we add the following modules to the App.

const app = new WHS.App([
  new WHS.ElementModule(), // Apply to DOM.
  new WHS.SceneModule(), // Create a new THREE.Scene and set it to app.

  new WHS.DefineModule('camera', new WHS.PerspectiveCamera({ // Apply a camera.
    position: new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 50)
  })),

  new WHS.RenderingModule({bgColor: 0x162129}), // Apply THREE.WebGLRenderer
  new WHS.ResizeModule() // Make it resizable.
]);

app.start(); // Run app.
