Why is my THREE.js Documentation Box isn't working?

November 20, 2021

I’m a Beginner who tries to learn THREE.js I went through the THREE.js Documentation and tried to code that but when I run my HTML page it was empty and I have no clue what to do and I used visual studio code to do coding

      const scene = new THREE.Scene();
      const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(
        75,
        window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight,
        0.1,
        1000
      );

      const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
      renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
      document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);

      const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry();
      const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00 });
      const cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
      scene.add(cube);

      camera.position.z = 5;

      const animate = function () {
        requestAnimationFrame(animate);

        cube.rotation.x += 0.01;
        cube.rotation.y += 0.01;

        renderer.render(scene, camera);
      };

      animate();
    </script>

>Solution :

Your code works, the only change I made is to insert the library via CDN.

You have the "three.js" script locally so make sure you have that file in the js folder and that the folder is in the root of your site.
