react-three-fiber is a <a href="https://reactjs.org/docs/codebase-overview.html#renderers">React renderer</a> for threejs.
|
|
|
|
Build your scene declaratively with re-usable, self-contained components that react to state, are readily interactive and can participate in React's ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install three @react-three/fiber
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Does it have limitations?
|
|
|
|
None. Everything that works in Threejs will work here without exception.
|
|
|
|
#### Is it slower than plain Threejs?
|
|
|
|
No. There is no overhead. Components render outside of React. It outperforms Threejs in scale due to React's scheduling abilities.
|
|
|
|
#### Can it keep up with frequent feature updates to Threejs?
|
|
|
|
Yes. It merely expresses Threejs in JSX: `<mesh />` becomes `new THREE.Mesh()`, and that happens dynamically. If a new Threejs version adds, removes or changes features, it will be available to you instantly without depending on updates to this library.
|
|
|
|
### What does it look like?
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tbody>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>Let's make a re-usable component that has its own state, reacts to user-input and participates in the render-loop. (<a href="https://codesandbox.io/s/rrppl0y8l4?file=/src/App.js">live demo</a>).</td>

|
This example relies on react 18 and uses `expo-cli`, but you can create a bare project with their template or with the `react-native` CLI.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install expo-cli, this will create our app
|
|
npm install expo-cli -g
|
|
# Create app and cd into it
|
|
expo init my-app
|
|
cd my-app
|
|
# Install dependencies
|
|
npm install three @react-three/fiber@beta react@rc
|
|
# Start
|
|
expo start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some configuration may be required to tell the Metro bundler about your assets if you use `useLoader` or Drei abstractions like `useGLTF` and `useTexture`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// metro.config.js
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
resolver: {
|
|
sourceExts: ['js', 'jsx', 'json', 'ts', 'tsx', 'cjs'],
|
|
assetExts: ['glb', 'png', 'jpg'],
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import React, { useRef, useState } from 'react'
|
|
import { Canvas, useFrame } from '@react-three/fiber/native'
|
|
function Box(props) {
|
|
const mesh = useRef(null)
|
|
const [hovered, setHover] = useState(false)
|
|
const [active, setActive] = useState(false)
|
|
useFrame((state, delta) => (mesh.current.rotation.x += delta))
|
|
return (
|
|
<mesh
|
|
{...props}
|
|
ref={mesh}
|
|
scale={active ? 1.5 : 1}
|
|
onClick={(event) => setActive(!active)}
|
|
onPointerOver={(event) => setHover(true)}
|
|
onPointerOut={(event) => setHover(false)}>
|
|
<boxGeometry args={[1, 1, 1]} />
|
|
<meshStandardMaterial color={hovered ? 'hotpink' : 'orange'} />
|
|
</mesh>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
export default function App() {
|
|
return (
|
|
<Canvas>
|
|
<ambientLight />
|
|
<pointLight position={[10, 10, 10]} />
|
|
<Box position={[-1.2, 0, 0]} />
|
|
<Box position={[1.2, 0, 0]} />
|
|
</Canvas>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|

# Fundamentals
|
|
|
|
You need to be versed in both React and Threejs before rushing into this. If you are unsure about React consult the official [React docs](https://react.dev/learn), especially [the section about hooks](https://react.dev/reference/react). As for Threejs, make sure you at least glance over the following links:
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have a [basic grasp of Threejs](https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#manual/en/introduction/Creating-a-scene). Keep that site open.
|
|
2. When you know what a scene is, a camera, mesh, geometry, material, fork the [demo above](https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber#what-does-it-look-like).
|
|
3. [Look up](https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#api/en/objects/Mesh) the JSX elements that you see (mesh, ambientLight, etc), _all_ threejs exports are native to three-fiber.
|
|
4. Try changing some values, scroll through our [API](https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/API) to see what the various settings and hooks do.
