I have installed the offline version on a Ubuntu 20 machine and can run examples, but find I am not clear how to organise my files and create shared libraries. Do the all have to be within
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@jscad ?
How would I re-locate to a user area /~paul/development/jscad... for example?

Any help welcome.

@gilboonet I ran into a simple problem, the selection order of the downloaded files matters. I was not getting the same result as you as my files had different names and in my file selector appear in the reverse order. When I made the file selector do a reverse ordering of filenames and then completed the drag and drop I achieved the same result as you. Thanks again.

@gilboonet Thanks very much for the example I think I can see my way forward. I like the integration with Geany, another thing for me to try, currently I use Kate

Thanks for the reply.

I am trying the drag-n-drop folder approach with a simple two file example.

====
file one - test.jscad

include ("./tube.js");
function main() {
  var atube = tube(100,32,30);
  return atube;
}

======

========
file two tube.js ( or tube.jscad)

function main(params) {
  var atube = tube(params.length,params.outerdiameter,params.innerdiameter);
  return atube;
}

function getParameterDefinitions() {
  return [
    { name: 'outerdiameter', caption: 'Outer Diameter:', type: 'float', default: 10 },
    { name: 'innerdiameter', caption: 'Inner Diameter:', type: 'float', default: 8 },
    { name: 'length', caption: 'length:', type: 'float', default: 20 },
  ];
}

function tube(len, od,id)
{
var ocylinder = CSG.cylinder({
  start: [0, -len/2, 0],
  end: [0, +len/2, 0],
  radius: od/2,
  resolution: 40       // optional
});
var icylinder = CSG.cylinder({
    start: [0, -len/2, 0],
  end: [0, +len/2, 0],
  radius: id/2,
  resolution: 40       // optional
});
var cylinder = ocylinder.subtract(icylinder);
return cylinder;
}

============

These are both in the same directory in my user area. I dragged the directory to the OpenJSCAD.org interface and the result is :

ReferenceError: tube is not defined
Line: 124,col: 0
(blob:https://openjscad.org/d80c6540-7a94-4c8f-b319-51dc761194f2 line 43 > Function)

I am anyway puzzled as to how the interpreter knows which file is the Main one to execute.

I have tried with Firefox 79 for Ubuntu and Chromium Version 84.0.4147.105 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit) with the included file both as .js and as .jscad
