React-distortion NPM

react-distortion

A React component library for adding animated procedural distortion to other components.

Three distorted and animated text boxes on a blue background reading "Borders! Backgrounds! The whole dang thing"

Pure CSS and HTML Distortion, with animations in JS. All through inline SVGs, feTurbulence and feDisplacementMap elements, and CSS filters.

Component

DistortComponent()

Component that distorts itself and its children.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Default type	Description
`E` extends `ElementType`	`"div"`	The base component type; inferred from as.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`props`	`Substitute`\[`ComponentProps`](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/react/index.d.ts#L1423)\<`E`\, `DistortOptions`\<`E`>>

Remarks

The type of props is expanded to include any additional props of the component type E. For example, <DistortComponent as="a" href="..." />.

Existing properties of DistortOptions are not forwarded to the underlying component.

Options

DistortOptions\<E>

Options for DistortComponent.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Default type	Description
`E` extends `ElementType`	`"div"`	The base component type. Inferred from as.

Type declaration

as?

The react component for this to wrap.

Default Value

'div'

baseSeed?

Starting seed for the feTurbulence noise filter.

Remarks

Loop animations increment from this value, while endless animations reset it. Entering a state with resetSeed = true will return to it.

cssVariable?

Name for the css variable to access the distortion filter.

Default Value

`--distortion-filter`

Remarks

Used as: filter: var(--${cssVariable}).

filterId?

A CSS ID to use for the distortion filter.

Default Value

useId()

minRefresh?

Minimum milliseconds between seed refreshes.

Default Value

getDistortionSeed()?

A function returning an integer to pass to feTurbulence's seed

Default Value

() => Math.random() * (2 ** 16) | 0;

defaultFilter?

The default distortion filter settings for the element.

Remarks

Undefined properties are replaced with their default values.

Default Value

{
  baseFrequency: 0.015,
  disable: false,
  numOctaves: 3,
  resetSeed: false,
  scale: 5,
}

hoverFilter?

Distortion filter settings while the element is hovered.

activeFilter?

Distortion filter settings while the element is active.

focusFilter?

Distortion filter settings while the element is focused.

domStates?

Filters and the DOM events associated with them, in ascending order of precedence.

Default Value

[
  {
    prop: 'hoverFilter',
    onMouseEnter: true,
    onMouseLeave: false,
  },
  {
    prop: 'focusFilter',
    onFocus: true,
    onBlur: false,
  },
  {
    prop: 'activeFilter',
    onMouseDown: true,
    onMouseUp: false,
  }
]

Remarks

Handlers for all DOM events defined in this prop are passed to the wrapped component. As such, the component should accept props from them, even though the typing of DistortComponent does not required that.

There is a maximum of 32 states supported, with any additional states being ignored.

ref?

Component's imperative handle.

forwardedRef?

A Ref to pass to the wrapped component.

Remarks

The precedence of filters in descending order is: active, focus, hover, default. Undefined filters are skipped

Any missing properties of filters will be inherited from defaultFilter, expect for disable, which always defaults to false.

DistortRequiredAsProps

Properties which a provided 'as' component must support

Type declaration

style?

Remarks

DistortComponent works by passing additional style and children to the wrapped component, and will break if they are not supported. For example <DistortComponent as="input" /> would throw a runtime error, as input elements cannot have children.

DistortSupportedAs\<T>

A wrapper which checks the passed type is a component which accepts DistortRequiredAsProps. Returns never if it does not.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Description
`T`	The component type to check. Inferred from as.

DistortFilterOptions

Options for applied filters and animations.

Type declaration

animationInterval?

The milliseconds between animation seed changes.

Remarks

If undefined, the distortion is static.

If any other animation property--animationJitter, steps, or DistortFilterOptions.alternate-- are defined, this is set to 400.

animationJitter?

Milliseconds to randomly vary animationInterval by, or a function that returns that value.

baseFrequency?

The feTurbulence noise filter's base frequency.

disable?

Disables the filter.

numOctaves?

The feTurbulence noise filter's number of octaves.

resetSeed?

If the seed should be set to baseSeed upon entering this state.

Remarks

Allows returning to deterministic sequences after random animations.

Ignored if baseSeed is undefined.

scale?

The feDisplacementMap's scale.

steps?

The number of seed increments before returning to the start for loop animations. If undefined, the animation never loops.

alternate?

Filter options to use on odd animation steps.

Remarks

If true, all values are taken from defaultFilter.

Undefined values don't alternate.

DistortDOMState

A filter and the DOM events associated with it.

Remarks

Filters can either be explicitly defined or reference one of the built in prop filters. Filters which reference to an undefined prop are ignored.

DOM events are specified as key: boolean pairs, where 'true' means the state is entered on the given event, and 'false'. If multiple states specify the same event, the highest precedence state overrides all previous ones.

Typing allows explicitly setting events as undefined, e.g. 'onFocus: undefined', which is evaluated identically to 'onFocus: false'.
