react-p5-fiber v0.0.2

React P5 Fiber

React-P5-Fiber is a react-three-fiber is a React renderer for the P5 Library.

This Project is in super early Development, but good enough to play around with

Install

npm i -save react-p5-fiber

Setup

Replace the standard ReactDOM.render() with the P5Renderer

import P5Renderer from "react-p5-fiber/renderer/P5Renderer";

...

P5Renderer.render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

NOTE: Since we have replaced the DOM Renderer, normal HTML Syntax like div or h1 won't produce any output

Inside our App Component we can now use any function that is available inside of the P5 Lib as follows

function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <setup>
        <createCanvas width={1200} height={1200} />
        <background color={"white"} />
      </setup>

      <draw>
        <ellipse x={0} y={0} width={10} height={10} />
      </draw>
    </>
  );
}

The only Elements that accept children are setup and draw

Any function of the P5 Lib should work, but not all are Typed

!!! The order of arguments matter and should be as you would pass it to the corresponding function !!!

UseLoop Hook

import { useState } from "react";
import { useLoop } from "react-p5-fiber";

function Component() {
  const [color, setColor] = useState(0);
  const [color2, setColor2] = useState(0);

  useLoop(
    // updated on every P5 Draw Loop
    (p5: P5) => {
      // you hav access to all the P5 Variables through the Value (here `p5`) passed into your Callback

      // update State using P5 Vars
      setColor(p.frameCount % 255);

      // update State using P5 Functions
      setColor2(p.random(255));
    },
    // pass in all States used inside the Callback
    [color, color2])

    return (
        ...
    )
  );
}
