Box Controls

Box Controls uses the popular dat.GUI module which is self described as:

A lightweight graphical user interface for changing variables in JavaScript

Use this module if you want to dynamically experiment with the Dice-Box config settings and see real time feedback. All changes are passed to Dice-Box's updateConfig() method.

This module was created for experimental and demo purposes.

Install

Add the dice-ui module using

npm install @3d-dice/dice-ui

Setup

Then create a new instance of the picker

import { BoxControls } from '@3d-dice/dice-ui'

const Controls = new BoxControls({
  onUpdate: (updates) => {
    diceBox.updateConfig(updates)
  }
})

Setting theme controls

The controls for theme and themeColor have been exposed as themeSelect and themeColorPicker respectively. These controls can now be set externally.

Controls.themeSelect.setValue('diceOfRolling')
Controls.themeColorPicker.setValue('#fc05fc')

This was set up so the controls would reflect the theme or themeColor first loaded by dice box. Other controls have not been exposed.
