I need to add some texts to a scene in three-js and I've seen Troika seems to be perfect for it. The problem is that when I install troika, I can't find a way to call the module, and/or it has problems with references... I don't seem to find anything related anywhere, people ask questions like they simply install troika and voi-la, and for me it's been complicated
so I have three running perfectly, then I install troika (npm install troika-three-text)
it generates some folders in the node_modules folder, now the instalation tells you that you have to call it using
import { Text } from 'troika-three-text',
when I do this, I get this message:
'Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "troika-three-text". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".'
so then I try with:
import { Text } from '../node_modules/troika-three-text/dist/troika-three-text.esm.js'
and now the problem is the following...
'Failed to resolve module specifier "troika-worker-utils". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".'
So I don't know what to do, either I have to manually change every path inside the scripts of all the troika folders, or what? it doesn't make any sense, please someone help me U_U thank you!!!
I just ran into this problem as well while playing, with troika.
This may not be a perfect solution,but it's a good workaround because I use three.js in the browser, not in nodejs.
My main script is loaded in the index.html file using type="module" and also in the index.html file is an "import map" that uses defines the necessary names as follows:
<html>
<head>
<script type="importmap">
{
"imports" : {
"three": "http://unpkg.com/three@latest/build/three.module.js",
"troika-three-text": "http://unpkg.com/troika-three-text@latest/dist/troika-three-text.esm.js",
"troika-three-utils": "http://unpkg.com/troika-three-utils@latest/dist/troika-three-utils.esm.js",
"troika-worker-utils": "http://unpkg.com/troika-worker-utils@latest/dist/troika-worker-utils.esm.js",
...
}
}
</script>
Note that I'm getting these files from the unpkg.com CDN. You may have to do something a bit different.
