To clone and run this template, you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer. From your command line:
# Clone this repository
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/yandeu/phaser-project-template.git phaser3-game
# Go into the repository
$ cd phaser3-game
# Install dependencies
$ npm install
# Start the local development server (on port 8080)
$ npm start
# Ready for production?
# Build the production ready code to the /dist folder
$ npm run buildChange the gameName in /webpack/webpack.common.js.
All your game code lies inside the /src/scripts folder. All assets need to be inside the /src/assets folder in order to get copied to /dist while creating the production build. Do not change the name of the index.html and game.ts files.

This template is 100% PWA ready.
The ServiceWorker is disabled by default. Uncomment the line below inside /src/index.html to enable it.
<script>
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
navigator.serviceWorker.register('./sw.js')
})
}
</script>You can easily personalize its settings by following these steps:
- Replace both icons in /pwa/icons with your own.
- One is 512x512 the other 192x192
- Add your own favicon.ico to /src
- Adjust these parameters in the manifest.json file in /pwa
- short_name: Max. 12 characters
- name: The full game name
- orientation: "landscape" or "portrait"
- background_color: color of the splash screen
- theme_color: color of the navbar - has to match the theme-color in the index.html file
- You can leave the sw.js (serviceWorker) in /pwa how it is.
- Change the gameName in /webpack/webpack.common.js

The simplest way to build a Native App is using Capacitor and following its Documentation. The only thing you need to change after installing Capacitor is the webDir inside the capacitor.config.json file. Set it to dist like so:
{
"appId": "com.example.app",
"appName": "YOUR_APP_NAME",
"bundledWebRuntime": false,
"webDir": "dist"
}Change the TypeScript compiler's settings in the tsconfig.json file.
If you are new to TypeScript, you maybe want to set "noImplicitAny" to false.
You'll find more information about the TypeScript compiler here.
You can put your custom type definitions inside typings/custom.d.ts.
All webpack configs are in the webpack folder.
We are using the webpack-obfuscator. Change its settings in webpack/webpack.prod.js if needed. All available options are listed here.
