react-gif

This React component uses gif-frames to serve as a controller for .gif images.

Usage

The usage is quite simple. If I would like to look at the first frame of the gif located at /path-to.gif, I simply use the component as so.

<Gif src="/path-to.gif" frame="0" />

One can then see how composition allows for some fun. With cool packages like RxJS, one can create pretty cool logic for animation.

const FunGif = () => {
    const [frame, setFrame] = useState(0);
    const [subscription, setSubscription] = useState(undefined);
    const restartSubscription = () => {
        if (subscription) {
          subscription.unsubscribe();
        }
        setSubscription(coolRxJSObservable.subscribe(setFrame));
    }
    return <Gif src="/my.gif" frame={frame} onClick={restartSubscription} />;
}

Issues

I think there might be some CORS issues right now?
