p5-wrapper

This Component lets you integrate p5 Sketches into your React App.

Original Code was from Ivan Malyugin from a Discussion in the React Forum

Demo & Examples

Live demo: and-who.github.io/react-p5-wrapper

To build the examples locally, run:

npm install
npm start

Then open localhost:3001 in a browser.

Installation

The easiest way to use react-p5-wrapper is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, Webpack, etc).

npm install react-p5-wrapper --save

Usage

var P5Wrapper = require('react-p5-wrapper');
or
import P5Wrapper from 'react-p5-wrapper';

<P5Wrapper sketch={sketch} />

An Sketch could look like this:

export default function sketch (p) {
  let rotation = 0;

  p.setup = function () {
    p.createCanvas(600, 400, p.WEBGL);
  };

  p.myCustomRedrawAccordingToNewPropsHandler = function (props) {
    if (props.rotation){
      rotation = props.rotation * Math.PI / 180;
    }
  };

  p.draw = function () {
    p.background(100);
    p.normalMaterial();
    p.noStroke();
    p.push();
    p.rotateY(rotation);
    p.box(100);
    p.pop();
  };
};

In the Example above you see the myCustomRedrawAccordingToNewPropsHandler function. This function is called if Properties of the wrapper component are changing. In this case the Wrapper Component would be integrated like this: <P5Wrapper sketch={sketch} rotation={rotation}/>.

Properties

• sketch: This is the Sketch Script which should be executed in the P5 Canvas
• You can add as many custom Properties as you want
