Fast spatial indexing and search for three.js.
Internally, the library stores data in a non-THREE format to make it easier to execute functions on workers. As a result, you will need to transform positional information back into THREE objects when pulling data from the index.
Add spatialhash as a dependency to your project:
npm install -S @elmarquez/spatialhash
Install all development dependencies:
npm install
Build the library:
npm run build
Test the distribution:
npm run test
