Build

The project uses Webpack to build and bundle its code base.

• The building system generates minified builds for the runtime and for the editor
• JavaScript is optimized and minified using Uglify
• Documentation generation uses YuiDocs

Steps needed to build the project:

1. To build the project first install Java, Node.js and NPM and ensure that java command is working properly.
2. Install dependencies from npm by running npm install.
   1. If running on Node >=16 run npm install --legacy-peer-deps instead
3. Install the dependencies for the project webpage running cd source/page && npm install
4. Building/running
   1. Building: to build editor, runtime and documentation, run npm run build
   2. Running: To start the editor locally for development and testing run npm run start

Embedding Application

• Application developed with can be embedded into already existing web pages, and are compatible with frameworks like Angular or React.
• To embed applications in HTML pages the following code can be used, the application is bootstrapped using the loadApp(file, id) method.

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="nunu.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body onload="Nunu.App.loadApp('pong.nsp', 'canvas')">
        <canvas width="800" height="480" id="canvas"></canvas>
    </body>
</html>

Vue.js with Nuxtjs

• Build nunu.min.js and place into static/js folder of your nuxt instance
• Place canvas element into your template area where you want it, for example:

<template>
  <div>
    <canvas
      id="canvas"
      width="800"
      height="480"
    />
</div>
</template>

• Add the script to your head function of the page you want the 3D integration on (or place is into your global head)

head() {
return {
      script: [
        {
          hid: 'Nunu',
          src: 'assets/js/nunu.min.js',
          defer: true,
          callback: () => {
            Nunu.App.loadApp('assets/file.nsp', 'canvas') //add file to load in here
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  }

• You are now able to address Nunu as usual within the app.
