React 360

React 360 is a framework for the creation of interactive 360 experiences that run in your web browser. It pairs modern APIs like WebGL and WebVR with the declarative power of React, producing applications that can be consumed through a variety of devices. Leveraging web technologies and the existing React ecosystem, React 360 aims to simplify the construction of cross-platform 360 experiences.

Getting Started

We’ve designed the React 360 developer experience to get your first project up and running in only a few minutes. Before installing the developer tools, you’ll need to make sure that you have two prerequisites installed:

• Node.js version 6.0.0 or higher
• yarn or npm (>= v3.0.0) package managers

Next, install the React 360 CLI – a command-line tool that generates the basic layout of new projects.

npm install -g react-360-cli

Or

yarn global add react-360-cli

You’ll only need to install this CLI once. It will alert you when it’s out of date, and provide instruction on how to update it.

Once installed, the CLI can be used to create a new project by running

react-360 init PROJECT_NAME

where PROJECT_NAME is the name of your new application. Once it’s been created and the dependencies are installed, change your working directory to PROJECT_NAME, and start the application server by running npm start (or yarn start). You can also use --https option to run the server with https.

When the server has booted, you can access your application by navigating to http://localhost:8081/ in your web browser. Your application’s code can be found in index.js, and you can learn more about available framework features by diving into our documentation.
