p5-hook v0.0.6

p5-hook

p5-hook is a tiny plugin which lets you create p5 canvas with structure & modulize.

Remember to install p5js as dependency.

Install

Install by CDN or npm/yarn

npm install p5-hook
// or
yarn add p5-hook

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@1.3.1/lib/p5.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5-hook@0.0.5/dist/p5-hook.min.js"></script>

Usage

Basic CDN usage

<div id="canvas-box"></div>

const { useP5, createProcess, createParticle } = p5Hook;

// use hook
const { initCanvas, addProcess, startAnimate } = useP5({
  animateState: false, // animateState when canvas initialized
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight,
  bgColor: 0,
  // if you use any p5 method in process
  // remember to also define a specific p5 method here
  on: {
    setup(p) {},
    preload(e, p) {},
    mouseClicked(e, p) {},
  },
});

// create process
const circleProcess = createProcess({
  beforeSetup() {
    // do something before setup
  },
  setup() {
    // this action will be combined & run together with other process in `setup` once
  },
  draw() {
    // this action will be combined & run together with other process in `draw` looping
  },
  // other p5 methods can be set in `on`
  // do not define `setup` or `draw` here, this will not have effect
  on: {
    mouseClicked() {
      console.log('canvas clicked!');
    },
  },
});

// initialize p5 canvas
const app = initCanvas(document.getElementById('canvas-box'));

// add process
addProcess(circleProcess);

// startAnimate just turn `animateState` to `true`
// p5hook will check it before drawing the canvas
startAnimate();

Create Item

create before setup

const circleProcess = createProcess({
  beforeSetup() {
    this.item = {
      x: 30,
      y: 30,
      radius: 100,
    };
  },
  draw(p) {
    const { item } = this;
    p.circle(item.x, item.y, item.radius);
  },
});

create items by DOM event

const clickProcess = createProcess({
  draw(p) {
    const { items } = this;
    for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
      const item = items[i];
      p.circle(item.x, item.y, item.radius);
    }
  },
});

// custom method still have two default param
// p => p5 instance
// options => { width, height... }
clickProcess.addMethod('create', function(p, options, a, b) {
  // other params
  console.log(a, b);
  if (!this.items) {
    this.items = [];
  }
  this.items.push({
    x: p.mouseX,
    y: p.mouseY,
    radius: 10,
  });
})

window.addEventListener('click', function() {
  clickProcess.create(a, b);
});

Preload Image

const imageProcess = createProcess({
  on: {
    preload(p) {
      this.image = p.loadImage('./test.png');
    },
  },
  draw(p) {
    const { image } = this;
    p.image(image, 0, 0);
  },
});

API Documentation

useP5

• format: useP5(options)

options key/value

returned object key/value

createProcess

• format: createProcess(processOptions)

processOptions key/value

returned object key/value

be aware that you can still define method on process in other ways, but with addMethod, it helps you redirect this to processObject & inject tool p & options into params.

createParticle

• format: createParticle(p, particleOptions)

particleOptions key/value

usage

basic

const particleProcess = createProcess({
  beforeSetup(p) {
    this.items = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      const particle = createParticle(p, {
        position: { x: 0, y: 0 },
        speed: { x: p.random(1), y: p.random(1) },
        life: 60,
      });
      // if life is not -1, you can define onDead method on particle
      particle.onDead = () => {
        // remove particle
        items.splice(items.indexOf(particle), 1);
      };
      this.items.push(particle);
    }
  },
  draw() {
    const { items } = this;
    if (items.length <= 0) return;
    for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
      const particle = items[i];
      particle.run(); // this will auto update & move particle
    }
  },
});

image particle

since we need to wait for image loaded in setup, we need to change beforeSetup into setup, then bind the loaded image object to particle options.

Make sure you have preload method define in your useP5 option.

const { initCanvas } = useP5({
  on: {
    preload(e, p, options) {
      // you can also preload things here
    },
  },
});

const particleProcess = createProcess({
  on: {
    preload(e, p) {
      this.testImg = p.loadImage('./test.png');
    },
  },
  setup(p) {
    const image = this.testImg;
    this.items = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      const particle = createParticle(p, {
        position: { x: 0, y: 0 },
        speed: { x: p.random(1), y: p.random(1) },
        life: 60,
        image, // just bind the loaded image to particle options
      });
      // ...
    }
  },
  // ...
});
