Space.js

This library is part of two sibling libraries, Space.js for UI, Panel components, Tween, Web Audio, loaders, utilities, and Alien.js for 3D utilities, materials, shaders and physics.

Usage

Space.js is divided into two entry points depending on your use case.

The main entry point without any dependencies is for the UI components, loaders and utilities.

npm i @alienkitty/space.js

Math classes:

import { Color, Vector2 } from '@alienkitty/space.js';

UI and Panel components:

import { Panel, PanelItem, UI } from '@alienkitty/space.js';

Tween animation engine:

import { ticker, tween } from '@alienkitty/space.js';

ticker.start();

const data = {
    radius: 0
};

tween(data, { radius: 24, spring: 1.2, damping: 0.4 }, 1000, 'easeOutElastic', null, () => {
    console.log(data.radius);
});

Web Audio engine:

import { BufferLoader, WebAudio } from '@alienkitty/space.js';

const bufferLoader = new BufferLoader();
await bufferLoader.loadAllAsync(['assets/sounds/gong.mp3']);
WebAudio.init({ sampleRate: 48000 });
WebAudio.load(bufferLoader.files);

const gong = WebAudio.get('gong');
gong.gain.set(0.5);

document.addEventListener('pointerdown', () => {
    gong.play();
});

Audio stream support:

import { WebAudio } from '@alienkitty/space.js';

WebAudio.init({ sampleRate: 48000 });

// Shoutcast streams append a semicolon (;) to the URL
WebAudio.load({ protonradio: 'https://shoutcast.protonradio.com/;' });

const protonradio = WebAudio.get('protonradio');
protonradio.gain.set(1);

document.addEventListener('pointerdown', () => {
    protonradio.play();
});

And the @alienkitty/space.js/three entry point for three.js UI components, loaders and utilities.

npm i three @alienkitty/space.js

import { EnvironmentTextureLoader } from '@alienkitty/space.js/three';

// ...
const environmentLoader = new EnvironmentTextureLoader(renderer);
environmentLoader.load('assets/textures/env/jewelry_black_contrast.jpg', texture => {
    scene.environment = texture;
});
