echo3D React Components

This package contains helpful React components designed to work with the echo3D platform API.

Using the package

1. Install via npm i echo3d:

2. Importing <model-viewer/>:

If your framework does not utilize server side rendering: run npm i @google/model-viewer and add import '@google/model-viewer' to any files that utilize <Echo/>

If your framework does utilize server side rendering: Issues arise when components or pages importing model-viewer are rendered server side. To most reliably resolve this issue for SSR apps, provide the model-viewer via a script element in your _document file eg: <script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/@google/model-viewer/dist/model-viewer.min.js"></script>

3. (Only for typescript apps) If you do not have a globals.d.ts file, create one within your app src folder, add the line declare module 'echo3d'; and save the file to resolve compiler typing errors.

<Echo/> Model Viewer Component

This very young package currently contains only one component, a 3D model viewer built using google model-viewer. This component can be configured with an apiKey and entryID to stream and display models from the echo3D platform as well as a direct src url to display local or cloud files. Common <model-viewer/> configuration parameters are also exposed.

You must provide src or both apiKey and entryID.

src: Element will make no query and pass this url directly to

apiKey: Your echo3D project apiKey, eg some-words-1234

entryID: The entry ID of the hologram you would like to display

Optional Parameters

className: The CSS classes that will be applied to the element. If no classes are provided, the component will default to a 600px height viewer.

securityKey: provide your security key if it is enabled for your project

disableZoom: When defined, disables zoom (camera controls must be enabled)

cameraOrbit: The starting focal point of the viewer

cameraControls: When defined, camera controls for the viewer are disabled
