<HTML>

This component is a port of drei’s <Html> component. It allows you to tie HTML content to any object of your scene. It will be projected to the objects whereabouts automatically.

The container of your <Canvas> component needs to be set to position: relative | absolute | sticky | fixed. This is because the DOM element will be mounted as a sibling to the <canvas> element.

<script lang="ts">
  import { Canvas } from '@threlte/core'
  import Scene from './Scene.svelte'
</script>

<div>
  <Canvas>
    <Scene />
  </Canvas>
</div>

<style>
  div {
    height: 100%;
  }
</style>
<script lang="ts">
  import { T } from '@threlte/core'
  import { HTML, OrbitControls } from '@threlte/extras'
  import { spring } from 'svelte/motion'
  import { Color, MeshStandardMaterial } from 'three'
  import { DEG2RAD } from 'three/src/math/MathUtils.js'

  const getRandomColor = () => `#${Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215).toString(16)}`

  let material = new MeshStandardMaterial({
    color: new Color(getRandomColor())
  })

  const onClick = () => {
    material.color.set(getRandomColor())
    material = material
  }
  let isHovering = false
  let isPointerDown = false

  let htmlPosZ = spring(0)
  $: htmlPosZ.set(isPointerDown ? -0.15 : isHovering ? -0.075 : 0, {
    hard: isPointerDown
  })
</script>

Examples

Basic Example

<script lang="ts">
  import { HTML } from '@threlte/extras'
</script>

<HTML>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
</HTML>

Transform

transform applies matrix3d transformations.

<script lang="ts">
  import { HTML } from '@threlte/extras'
</script>

<HTML transform>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
</HTML>

Occlude

<Html> can be occluded behind geometry using the occlude occlude property.

<script lang="ts">
  import { HTML } from '@threlte/extras'
</script>

<HTML
  transform
  occlude
>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
</HTML>

Visibility Change Event

Use the property occlude and bind to the event visibilitychange to implement a custom hide/show behaviour.

<script lang="ts">
  import { HTML } from '@threlte/extras'

  const onVisibilityChange = (isVisible: boolean) => {
    console.log(isVisible)
  }
</script>

<HTML
  transform
  occlude
  on:visibilitychange={onVisibilityChange}
>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
</HTML>

When binding to the event visibilitychange the contents of <HTML> is not automatically hidden when it’s occluded.

Sprite Rendering

Use the property sprite in transform mode to render the contents of <HTML> as a sprite.

<script lang="ts">
  import { HTML } from '@threlte/extras'
</script>

<HTML
  transform
  sprite
>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
</HTML>

Center

Add a -50%/-50% css transform with center when not in transform mode.

<script lang="ts">
  import { HTML } from '@threlte/extras'
</script>

<HTML center>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
</HTML>

Portal

Use the property portal to mount the contents of the <HTML> component on another HTMLElement. By default the contents are mounted as a sibling to the rendering <canvas>.

<script lang="ts">
  import { HTML } from '@threlte/extras'
</script>

<HTML portal={document.body}>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
</HTML>
