@igorriti/react-fluid-animation v0.0.2

Installation

npm install @igorriti/react-fluid-animation

or

yarn add @igorriti/react-fluid-animation

Usage

import ReactFluidAnimation from '@igorriti/react-fluid-animation';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <ReactFluidAnimation />
  );
}

Usage with server-side rendering

This package works only on client side because it depdends on WebGL technology.

We need to load package dynamically after the hydration process is complete.

Let's see how this can be done:

const DynamicAnimation = dynamic(() => import('@igorriti/react-fluid-animation'));

export default function App() {
  const [isAfterHydration, setIsAfterHydration] = useState<boolean>(false);
  
  useEffect(() => {
    if (!isAfterHydration) setIsAfterHydration(true);
  }, [isAfterHydration, setIsAfterHydration]);

  return isAfterHydration ? <DynamicAnimation /> : null;
}

This workaround give us the opportunity to dynamically load the component and mount it right after hydration is complete to get around hydration errors from React.
