Reference Samples

Download layouts_cadviewer_laravel.zip and add the sample CADViewer blade.php files to laravel structure /resources/views/layouts/.

Sample blade files:

• cadviewer-space-object-canvas.blade.php
• cadviewer-textsearch.blade.php

(zip includes a logo-only.blade.php layout file)

, then in /routes/web.php , use any of the two view routes to run cadviewer:

Route::get('/', function () {
    //    return view('welcome');

	//   return view('layouts.logo-only').view('layouts.cadviewer-textsearch');
	return view('layouts.logo-only').view('layouts.cadviewer-space-object-canvas');
});

The sample cadviewer-space-object-canvas.blade.php uses a number of SVG elements as symbols, add these by downloading content_svg_laravel.zip and copy folder as a sub-folder to laravel /public/ folder.

Bookkeeping paths

Note that the path book-keeping in your *.blade.php file is important for proper initialization, where the ServerBackEndUrl and ServerLocation is the location and Url of the CAD Server and ServerUrl is the Url of the React application encapulating CADViewer.

	var ServerBackEndUrl = "http://localhost:3000/";
	var ServerUrl = "http://localhost/";
	var ServerLocation = "c:/nodejs/cadviewerServer/";

See the API documentation for initialization:

• cvjs_setAllServerPaths_and_Handlers() - required
