@tscircuit/manifold-2d

Zero-dependency access to Manifold's WebAssembly geometry core for robust 2D polygon operations.

The upstream manifold-3d npm package also ships CAD, glTF, and 3MF tooling. Those tools bring native image-processing dependencies into every install even when only CrossSection is used. This package vendors only the upstream core JavaScript, WebAssembly, and TypeScript declarations.

Installation

Install the package from npm:

bun add @tscircuit/manifold-2d

Usage

import { getManifoldModule } from "@tscircuit/manifold-2d"

const { CrossSection } = await getManifoldModule()
const outline = CrossSection.ofPolygons([
  [
    [0, 0],
    [10, 0],
    [10, 10],
    [0, 10],
  ],
])
const inset = outline.offset(-0.2, "Miter")

The first call to getManifoldModule() initializes a shared WASM instance. After initialization, getManifoldModuleSync() returns that instance. The default API uses the package's embedded WASM in Node, browser, and worker bundles, so it does not require an asset-loader configuration or a separate .wasm file beside the generated bundle.

To serve the WASM as a separate asset instead, point the loader at the emitted asset before initialization:

import { setWasmUrl } from "@tscircuit/manifold-2d"
import wasmUrl from "@tscircuit/manifold-2d/manifold.wasm?url"

setWasmUrl(wasmUrl)
