"Getting Started" docs won't get you started

So, the docs leave a lot out - in particular, simply importing the rapier3d from npm isn’t going to work without configuring your bundler (webpack, rollup, etc.) to handle wasm files. I’ve spent a couple hours trying to get it to work with snowpack - it kept complaining that the .wasm file was not a JavaScript file; switched over to webpack and got a similar error. Then I tried installing wasm-loader, but that doesn’t work either - I get _rapier_wasm3d_bg_wasm__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0__.rawintegrationparameters_new is not a function. I’m guessing that I need to find a different loader, but I have no idea which loader I should use.

@viridia I added some information to the “Getting started” docs regarding rapier3d-compat. You will find an example on CopdePen (it’s similar in 3D). The trick is to await the RAPIER.init() future.

import RAPIER from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@dimforge/rapier3d-compat';

RAPIER.init().then(() => {
    // Run the simulation.
});

OK thanks, I got it working.
