AR.js Studio Backend

Introduction

This project provides general functionality for the AR.js Studio Frontend, e.g. barcode/matrix code generation, pattern image generation etc. It is a separate project in order to be able to maintain functionality that is independent from the concrete frontend implementation.

• [x] Barcode Marker Generator, given matrix type and value (number)

• [x] Pattern Marker Generator (marker image + .patt file), given input image and default parameters

• [x] Pattern Marker Generator (marker image + .patt file), given input image and custom parameters

• [x] Creation and Output for a-scene element of Marker Based app, with default parameters

• [x] Creation and Output for a-scene element of Location Based app, with default parameters

• [ ] Creation and Output for a-scene element of NFT Based app, with default parameters

• [x] Creation and Output of a-marker element, with custom parameters (pattern, barcode markers)

Usage

For browser usage, download the library from the dist directory and import in your page:

<script src="js/arjs-studio-backend.min.js"></script>

Alternatively, you can use a CDN service like GitHack (replace vX.Y.Z with an actual version):

<script src="https://rawcdn.githack.com/AR-js-org/studio-backend/vX.Y.Z/dist/arjs-studio-backend.min.js"></script>

Modules

Modules are used to generate assets like marker and .patt files.

See modules docs for a detailed documentation and examples.

Providers

Providers are used to gather together the project assets and serve them in different formats. A base Provider class can be found in src/providers/Provider.js, you can extend directly from it or use others this library provides.

See providers docs for a detailed documentation and examples.

HTML generation

Modules also provide static functions to generate the content of index.html files for all kinds of AR.js applications.

See templates docs for a detailed documentation and examples.

Package

This class is a helper for generating the application package for the user. It provides an easy interface for the whole process, wrapping all modules/providers.

See package docs for a detailed documentation and examples.
