Alexey,
Do you have a particular goal, or do you just want to try out vtk-js? If
you just want to see what it can do, it is used the rendering in ParaView
Glance, which you can try out here:
https://kitware.github.io/paraview-glance/nightly/
It will load several different data formats, or just start with the example
datasets. As you can see, vtk-js is used for real and useful projects.

For just VTK-js, the example applications like the OBJ viewer:
https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/examples/OBJViewer.html
are a good starting point - there are several that will load different
formats of data.

The script I pointed you at is a ParaView macro, which means that after
running the ParaView application, you add it by going to the Macro menu and
choosing 'Add new macro...'

Regards,
Aron
