Follow the tutorial below to learn how to setup a ViteJS project to work with GLSL, ReactJS, Typescript & ThreeJS.
Step Two: Create the shared GLSL file
Create the shared GLSL functionality in a new file.
We recommend that you place this within a shared folder.
If the functionality is not a function, make sure that it ends in a semi-colon (i.e. ;), otherwise the project will produce errors.
Step Three: Include the GLSL File
In the file that you wish to import the functionality that you created in Step Two, add the following line at the top:
Please replace ./path/to/file with the path to your file.
#include "./path/to/file";Step Four: Test
Run the code and confirm that everything works as expected.
