How to Get Started

or how to get the boilerplate :) boilerplate for tquery is a template to get you started. You download it and modify it until it fits your needs. It is a fast way to start a clean project with tquery. The running boilerplate looks like that.

Want to run it on your computer ? First you get boilerplate’s files here. Then you launch the http server to serve them. Here is a little shell script which does it all.

curl -OL https://github.com/downloads/jeromeetienne/tquery/tqueryboilerplate.zip
unzip tqueryboilerplate.zip
cd tqueryboilerplate
make server

Then you open a browser on http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see it running. Up to you to modify index.html until it fits your needs. index.html looks like the code below… Quite short.

<!doctype html><title>Minimal tQuery Page</title>
<script unsrc="./tquery-bundle.js"></script>
<body><script>
    var world   = tQuery.createWorld().boilerplate().start();
    var object  = tQuery.createTorus().addTo(world);
</script></body>
