Using Forge Viewer, you have the option of a Headless one, the option to add your own logo and get rid of extension that interact with the viewer is possible. I created a demonstration of this scenario using React on the Front End, Redux to handle states for Properties metadata access and NodeJS (Express) together with React-Scripts to handle the authentication and access to the use of the Forge services.
The available Extensions once in Full Screen mode are.
- Properties (Categories are display with the option to expand to see all metadata available from the model)
- Explode Slider
- Explode Animation
- Rotate Animation
- Restate of the model to original form
This sample show a simple integration of the Viewer in a headless way with custom made extensions. The front-end will look like:
Follow these instructions to get the app running locally:
- run
git clonethis repository cdinto the project's directory- create a file called
server/credentials.jswith your credentials, follow this template - run
npm install - run
npm run watch
This will get a server running locally, open http://localhost:3000 on your browser to see the app running.
To run this app in production mode, run npm run build and then npm start in a production environment.
If you try to deploy this on Heroku, we set a postinstall script that will run the build script, so there is no need to run it again, simply let Heroku run npm start (which it does automatically) and you'll be good to go.
To deploy this project to Heroku, be sure to set your environment variables in the dashboard:
