This is the Web based UI for JSCAD, either to host yourself, or use directly at https://openjscad.xyz/.
Go to openjscad.xyz
Note: Tested browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Edge
cd base-directory-of-website
git clone https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org
cd OpenJSCAD.org
cd packages/web // this is where the web version is
cp ../examples ./examples // copy the examples here
<start a web server here>
And then access the contents via the URL of the web-site.
- index.html for the standard version
NOTE: You might need configuration changes to allow access to the some of the contents (examples etc).
If you want the capability, just like the official www.openjscad.xyz site, to load remote projects/files directly from the web based user interface, but without the hassle with CORS issues, then you can use a proxy file (see remote.pl & remote.php):
This is a server side script that does the following
- caches the remote file locally on the server
- returns the local path to the downloaded file for local use by the web UI
use and path of the proxy can be set by:
- changing the
proxyUrlvalue in src/ui/index.js - since this is hardcoded , if you do not use the provided dev server, rebuild your main file (See Contributing)
then you can use it like so:
https://YOURSITE/?uri=http://www.thingiverse.com/download:164128
or
https://YOURSITE/#http://www.thingiverse.com/download:164128
