R3F Canvas VIDEO RECORDING

The file useVideRecorder.jsx is a hook that enables recording of the canvas in R3F.

It will download in webm on chrome, and mp4 in safari / iOS.

To enable the native "share pop up" on iOS devices, make sure to have https enabled when serving locally.

You can generate a self-signed certificate using OpenSSL, running these commands to create a .key and .crt file:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout localhost.key -out localhost.crt -days 365

if using Vite, make sure to update the vite.config.js to include the HTTPS server configuration :

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react-swc';
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  server: {
    https: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' && fs.existsSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'localhost.key')) && fs.existsSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'localhost.crt'))
      ? {
          key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'localhost.key')),
          cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'localhost.crt')),
        }
      : false,
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 3000,
  },
});

The code above will ignore localhost.key and .crt when uploading to an online server with https enabled.

when starting the dev server with npm run dev

Your Vite project will now be accessible via https://localhost:3000.
