React component for canvas-confetti library. In the sandbox you can play with the settings.
npm i react-canvas-confetti❗ It is expected that the react is already installed as peer dependency.
I highly recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the canvas-confetti library before using this module, as most of the parameters are the canvas-confetti interface.
There are two use cases for react-canvas-confetti:
- Get an instance of canvas-confetti using the
refConfettiprop and work with it directly. With this approach, you will need to use prop refConfetti to get a canvas-confetti instance for subsequent work with it and refuse to use propsfire,reset,onFire,onDecay,onReset.
import React from 'react';
import Confetti from 'react-canvas-confetti';
class AwesomeComponent extends React.Component {
onClickDefault() {
this.refConfetti();
}
onClickCustom() {
this.refConfetti({particleCount: 500});
}
onClickCallback() {
this.refConfetti().then(() => {
console.log('do something after animation');
});
}
onClickReset() {
this.refConfetti.reset();
}
render() {
const style = {
position: 'fixed',
width: '100%',
height: '100%',
zIndex: -1
};
return (
<>
<Confetti
style={style}
className={'yourClassName'}
refConfetti={(ref) => this.refConfetti = ref}
/>
<button onClick={this.onClickDefault.bind(this)}>Fire with default</button>
<button onClick={this.onClickCustom.bind(this)}>Fire with custom</button>
<button onClick={this.onClickCallback.bind(this)}>Fire with callback</button>
<button onClick={this.onClickReset.bind(this)}>Reset</button>
</>
);
}
}- Control the component by throwing all the props from above. With this approach, you don't need to work with the canvas-confetti instance directly. You can organize all the logic through a set of props
fire,reset,onFire,onDecay,onReset.
import React from 'react';
import Confetti from 'react-canvas-confetti';
class AwesomeComponent extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
fire: false,
reset: false
}
}
onClickFire() {
// set any value that is cast to the logical true and will differ from the previous one.
this.setState({fire: {}});
}
onClickReset() {
// set any value that is cast to the logical true and will differ from the previous one.
this.setState({reset: {}});
}
onReset() {
console.log('do something after reset')
}
onDecay() {
console.log('do something after animation')
}
render() {
const style = {
position: 'fixed',
width: '100%',
height: '100%',
zIndex: -1
};
return (
<>
<Confetti
style={style}
className={'yourClassName'}
fire={this.state.fire}
reset={this.state.reset}
onDecay={this.onDecay}
onReset={this.onReset}
/>
<button onClick={this.onClickFire.bind(this)}>Fire</button>
<button onClick={this.onClickReset.bind(this)}>Reset</button>
</>
);
}
}refConfetti: (confetti: CreateTypes | null) => void - callback for getting the canvas-confetti instance into the parent component (see the first use case).
fire: any - prop for firing the animation, can be any data type set to Boolean true and different from the previous value. Starting a new animation does not cancel the old one!
reset: any - prop for resetting all animations at once, can be any kind of data that casts to boolean true and differs from the previous value.
width: string | number - prop is responsible for the width of the canvas. Alternative ways to control canvas sizes are className and style props.
height: string | number - prop is responsible for the height of the canvas. Alternative ways to control canvas sizes are className and style props.
className: string - prop to set className to canvas element
style: CSSProperties - prop to set style to canvas element
onFire: () => void - callback on start animation
onDecay: () => void - callback on finish animation
onReset: () => void - callback on resetting all animations
Canvas-confetti props (more details)
particleCount: number (default: 50) - the number of confetti to launch. More is always fun... but be cool, there's a lot of math involved.
angle: number (default: 90) - the angle in which to launch the confetti, in degrees. 90 is straight up.
spread: number (default: 45) - how far off center the confetti can go, in degrees. 45 means the confetti will launch at the defined angle plus or minus 22.5 degrees.
startVelocity: number (default: 45) - how fast the confetti will start going, in pixels.
decay: number (default: 0.9) - how quickly the confetti will lose speed. Keep this number between 0 and 1, otherwise the confetti will gain speed. Better yet, just never change it.
gravity: number (default: 1) - how quickly the particles are pulled down. 1 is full gravity, 0.5 is half gravity, etc., but there are no limits. You can even make particles go up if you'd like.
ticks: number (default: 200) - how many times the confetti will move. This is abstract... but play with it if the confetti disappear too quickly for you.
origin: { x: number, y: number } - where to start firing confetti from. Feel free to launch off-screen if you'd like.
origin.x: number (default: 0.5) - the x position on the page, with 0 being the left edge and 1 being the right edge.
origin.y: number (default: 0.5) - the y position on the page, with 0 being the top edge and 1 being the bottom edge.
colors: Array<String> - an array of color strings, in the HEX format... you know, like #bada55.
shapes: Array<String> - an array of shapes for the confetti. The possible values are square and circle. The default is to use both shapes in an even mix. You can even change the mix by providing a value such as ['circle', 'circle', 'square'] to use two third circles and one third squares.
scalar: number (default: 1) - scale factor for each confetti particle. Use decimals to make the confetti smaller. Go on, try teeny tiny confetti, they are adorable!
zIndex: number (default: 100) - the confetti should be on top, after all. But if you have a crazy high page, you can set it even higher.
disableForReducedMotion: boolean (default: false) - disables confetti entirely for users that prefer reduced motion. The confetti() promise will resolve immediately in this case.
resize: boolean (default: true) - whether to allow setting the canvas image size, as well as keep it correctly sized if the window changes size (e.g. resizing the window, rotating a mobile device, etc.). By default, the canvas size will not be modified.
useWorker: boolean (default: true) - whether to use an asynchronous web worker to render the confetti animation, whenever possible. This is turned off by default, meaning that the animation will always execute on the main thread. If turned on and the browser supports it, the animation will execute off of the main thread so that it is not blocking any other work your page needs to do. Using this option will also modify the canvas, but more on that directly below -- do read it. If it is not supported by the browser, this value will be ignored.
