IGL-JS Experiment

This is a playground for adding web UI on top of libigl algos

There's a bunch of cool research code (not by me) and I just want to make toys out of some of it.

Any new code here from me is released under the standard open source MIT license.

Live demo (not much there yet): https://jimmyland.github.io/igl-js-experiment/

Developer Instructions

If you want to make toys here too, that's cool.

Building and running:

Compiling the C++ code

If you just want to mess with JS, I'm going to include pre-compiled js for any C++ components.

If you want to mess with the C++:

1. Acquire Emscripten: http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/ (or brew install emscripten on Mac if you have homebrew)

2. Run make.

Running the JS code

You basically just need to open index.html in a browser, BUT for the browser to successfully load all the other resource and js files it needs, you'll need to serve that file from a local server instead of opening it directly. What I do is install the super-basic http-server and use that to serve index.html on localhost:

1. Install node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/download/ (or brew install node on Mac if you have homebrew)
2. Install http-server globally: npm install http-server -g
3. cd to the directory where you've downloaded the voro project files, and run http-server
4. While the server is running, open http:127.0.0.1:8080 in your web browser

When developing and testing the code, I like to use Chrome and have the developer tools open, and go to the Network tab of the developer tools and make sure 'Disable cache' is checked. That way, when I edit a javascript file and refresh the browser, it will reliably pick up my changes.
