    </>

className optional: string

• The css classes to apply to the iframe.

• Callback function that is called whenever an AvatarCreatorEvent is published

Example

import { AvatarCreatorConfig, AvatarCreatorEvent, AvatarCreatorRaw } from '@readyplayerme/react-avatar-creator';

const config: AvatarCreatorConfig = {
  clearCache: true,
  bodyType: 'fullbody',
  quickStart: false,
  language: 'en',
};

const style = { width: '100%', height: '100vh', border: 'none' };

export default function App() {
  const handleCustomEvent = (event: AvatarCreatorEvent) => {
    console.log(`Received custom event`, event);

      <AvatarCreatorRaw subdomain="demo" config={config} style={style} onEventReceived={handleCustomEvent} />
    </>
  );
}

Using AvatarCreator with Visage

If you would like to use Visage, with its full capability to edit camera and light properties of the scene and more, you can use AvatarCreator component and Visage components together.

import { Avatar } from '@readyplayerme/visage';
import { AvatarCreator, AvatarCreatorConfig } from '@readyplayerme/react-avatar-creator';
import { useState } from 'react';

const subdomain = 'demo';

const config: AvatarCreatorConfig = {
  clearCache: true,
  bodyType: 'fullbody',
  quickStart: false,
  language: 'en',
};

const style = { width: '100%', height: '100vh', border: 'none' };

export const YourCustomComponent = () => {
  const [url, setUrl] = useState<string>();

  if (!url) {
    return <AvatarCreator subdomain={subdomain} config={config} style={style} onAvatarExported={(event) => setUrl(event.data.url)} />;
  }
  return <Avatar style={style} modelSrc={url} cameraInitialDistance={10} />;
};
