An open source joystick that can be used to control a target in a three.js scene.

npm i three-joystick

This class will add a joystick that can rotate a target object.
See demo here
See example code here

1. Import the RotationJoystickControls class

   import { RotationJoystickControls } from 'three-joystick';

2. Pass through your camera, scene and the target mesh you want to control

   const joystickControls = new RotationJoystickControls(
     camera,
     scene,
     target,
   );

3. Invoke update in your animate loop

   function animate() {
     requestAnimationFrame(animate);
   
     /**
      * Updates the rotation of the target mesh
      */
     rotationJoystick.update();
   
     renderer.render(scene, camera);
   }
   
   animate();

This class will add a joystick that invokes a callback function with the delta x and delta y from the movement of the user.

     joystickControls.update((movement) => {
       if (movement) {
         /**
          * The values reported back might be too large for your scene.
          * In that case you will need to control the sensitivity.
          */
         const sensitivity = 0.0001;
   
         /**
          * Do something with the values, for example changing the position
          * of the object
          */
         this.target.position.x += movement.moveX * sensitivity;
         this.target.position.y += movement.moveY * sensitivity;
       }
     });
   
     renderer.render(scene, camera);
   }
