| 13 | + |
| 14 | +::: tip TLDR; |
| 15 | +Assign your animation to an `useRef` immutable object inside a `useEffect` hook. Then you can use this ref to control the animation, like this: `myRef.current.play()` |
| 16 | +::: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +--- |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Install packages |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Start by installing React, ReactDOM and @mojs/core from your favorite package manager. Here we use npm: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```bash |
| 25 | +npm i react react-dom @mojs/core |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Create the animation component |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Here is the final component that we're gonna build: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```js |
| 33 | +import React, { useRef, useEffect, useState, useCallback } from "react"; |
| 34 | +import mojs from "@mojs/core"; |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +/** |
| 37 | + * Usage: |
| 38 | + * import MojsExample from './MojsExample'; |
| 39 | + * |
| 40 | + * <MojsExample duration={1000}/> |
| 41 | + */ |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +const MojsExample = ({ duration }) => { |
| 44 | + const animDom = useRef(); |
| 45 | + const bouncyCircle = useRef(); |
| 46 | + const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false); |
| 47 | + const [isAnimating, setIsAnimating] = useState(false); |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 50 | + // Prevent multiple instansiations on hot reloads |
| 51 | + if (bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + // Assign a Shape animation to a ref |
| 54 | + bouncyCircle.current = new mojs.Shape({ |
| 55 | + parent: animDom.current, |
| 56 | + shape: "circle", |
| 57 | + fill: { "#FC46AD": "#F64040" }, |
| 58 | + radius: { 50: 200 }, |
| 59 | + duration: duration, |
| 60 | + isShowStart: true, |
| 61 | + easing: "elastic.inout", |
| 62 | + onStart() { |
| 63 | + setIsAnimating(true); |
| 64 | + }, |
| 65 | + onComplete() { |
| 66 | + setIsAnimating(false); |
| 67 | + }, |
| 68 | + }); |
| 69 | + }); |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + // Update the animation values when the prop changes |
| 72 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 73 | + if (!bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 74 | + bouncyCircle.current.tune({ duration: duration }); |
| 75 | + isOpen |
| 76 | + ? bouncyCircle.current.replayBackward() |
| 77 | + : bouncyCircle.current.replay(); |
| 78 | + setIsOpen(!isOpen); |
| 79 | + }, [duration]); |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + const clickHandler = useCallback(() => { |
| 82 | + // If the "modal" is open, play the animation backwards, else play it forwards |
| 83 | + isOpen ? bouncyCircle.current.playBackward() : bouncyCircle.current.play(); |
| 84 | + setIsOpen(!isOpen); |
| 85 | + }, [isOpen]); |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + return ( |
| 88 | + <div ref={animDom} className="MojsExample"> |
| 89 | + <div className="content"> |
| 90 | + <h1>MoJS React Example</h1> |
| 91 | + <p>Using hooks</p> |
| 92 | + <button className="button" onClick={clickHandler}> |
| 93 | + {isAnimating && isOpen ? "Animating" : isOpen ? "Close" : "Open"} |
| 94 | + </button> |
| 95 | + </div> |
| 96 | + </div> |
| 97 | + ); |
| 98 | +}; |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +export default MojsExample; |
| 101 | +``` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +--- |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### Let's break it down! |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +First we create a `useRef` hooks, and takes advantage of its immutable object and assign our MoJS `Shape` animation to it. This way we can later use it to control our animation: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +```js{2,5} |
| 110 | +const MojsExample = () => { |
| 111 | + const bouncyCircle = useRef(); |
| 112 | +
|
| 113 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 114 | + bouncyCircle.current = new mojs.Shape({ |
| 115 | + shape: "circle", |
| 116 | + fill: { "#FC46AD": "#F64040" }, |
| 117 | + radius: { 50: 200 }, |
| 118 | + duration: 1000, |
| 119 | + isShowStart: true, |
| 120 | + easing: "elastic.inout", |
| 121 | + }); |
| 122 | + }); |
| 123 | +
|
| 124 | + return; |
| 125 | +}; |
| 126 | +``` |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +By checking if the ref already has been assigned, we can prevent the animation from being instantiated again on re-renders (very useful when using hot reloads): |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +```js{5} |
| 131 | +const MojsExample = () => { |
| 132 | + const bouncyCircle = useRef(); |
| 133 | +
|
| 134 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 135 | + if (bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 136 | +
|
| 137 | + bouncyCircle.current = new mojs.Shape({ |
| 138 | + shape: "circle", |
| 139 | + fill: { "#FC46AD": "#F64040" }, |
| 140 | + radius: { 50: 200 }, |
| 141 | + duration: 1000, |
| 142 | + isShowStart: true, |
| 143 | + easing: "elastic.inout", |
| 144 | + }); |
| 145 | + }); |
| 146 | +
|
| 147 | + return; |
| 148 | +}; |
| 149 | +``` |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +To get the reference to DOM element we want to append our animation to, we can use a `useRef` hook, and attach it to a container: |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +```js{3,9,21} |
| 154 | +const MojsExample = () => { |
| 155 | + const bouncyCircle = useRef(); |
| 156 | + const animDom = useRef(); |
| 157 | +
|
| 158 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 159 | + if (bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 160 | +
|
| 161 | + bouncyCircle.current = new mojs.Shape({ |
| 162 | + parent: animDom.current, |
| 163 | + shape: "circle", |
| 164 | + fill: { "#FC46AD": "#F64040" }, |
| 165 | + radius: { 50: 200 }, |
| 166 | + duration: 1000, |
| 167 | + isShowStart: true, |
| 168 | + easing: "elastic.inout", |
| 169 | + }); |
| 170 | +
|
| 171 | + bouncyCircle.current.play(); |
| 172 | + }); |
| 173 | +
|
| 174 | + return <div ref={animDom} className="MojsExample" />; |
| 175 | +}; |
| 176 | +
|
| 177 | +export default MojsExample; |
| 178 | +``` |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +Now lets add a button to play the animation when we click it. To control the animation, we can now reference the MoJS animation using `bouncyCircle.current.play();` |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +```js{19-21,25-27} |
| 183 | +const MojsExample = () => { |
| 184 | + const bouncyCircle = useRef(); |
| 185 | + const animDom = useRef(); |
| 186 | +
|
| 187 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 188 | + if (bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 189 | +
|
| 190 | + bouncyCircle.current = new mojs.Shape({ |
| 191 | + parent: animDom.current, |
| 192 | + shape: "circle", |
| 193 | + fill: { "#FC46AD": "#F64040" }, |
| 194 | + radius: { 50: 200 }, |
| 195 | + duration: 1000, |
| 196 | + isShowStart: true, |
| 197 | + easing: "elastic.inout", |
| 198 | + }); |
| 199 | + }); |
| 200 | +
|
| 201 | + const clickHandler = useCallback(() => { |
| 202 | + bouncyCircle.current.play(); |
| 203 | + }); |
| 204 | +
|
| 205 | + return ( |
| 206 | + <div ref={animDom} className="MojsExample"> |
| 207 | + <button className="button" onClick={clickHandler}> |
| 208 | + Play animation |
| 209 | + </button> |
| 210 | + </div> |
| 211 | + ); |
| 212 | +}; |
| 213 | +
|
| 214 | +export default MojsExample; |
| 215 | +``` |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +::: tip |
| 218 | +If we instead would want to play our animation directly, we could add `bouncyCircle.current.play();` directly after the bouncyCircle declaration. |
| 219 | +::: |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +By passing props to our `MojsExample` function, we can control the initial values of the animation, and also `.tune()` the animation when they change. |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +```js{7,19,25-29} |
| 224 | +/** |
| 225 | + * Usage: |
| 226 | + * import MojsExample from './MojsExample'; |
| 227 | + * |
| 228 | + * <MojsExample duration={1000}/> |
| 229 | + */ |
| 230 | +const MojsExample = ({ duration }) => { |
| 231 | + const animDom = useRef(); |
| 232 | + const bouncyCircle = useRef(); |
| 233 | +
|
| 234 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 235 | + if (bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 236 | +
|
| 237 | + bouncyCircle.current = new mojs.Shape({ |
| 238 | + parent: animDom.current, |
| 239 | + shape: "circle", |
| 240 | + fill: { "#FC46AD": "#F64040" }, |
| 241 | + radius: { 50: 200 }, |
| 242 | + duration: duration, |
| 243 | + isShowStart: true, |
| 244 | + easing: "elastic.inout", |
| 245 | + }); |
| 246 | + }); |
| 247 | +
|
| 248 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 249 | + if (!bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 250 | + bouncyCircle.current.tune({ duration: duration }); |
| 251 | + bouncyCircle.current.replay(); |
| 252 | + }, [duration]); |
| 253 | +
|
| 254 | + const clickHandler = useCallback(() => { |
| 255 | + bouncyCircle.current.play(); |
| 256 | + }); |
| 257 | +
|
| 258 | + return ( |
| 259 | + <div ref={animDom} className="MojsExample"> |
| 260 | + <button className="button" onClick={clickHandler}> |
| 261 | + Play animation |
| 262 | + </button> |
| 263 | + </div> |
| 264 | + ); |
| 265 | +}; |
| 266 | +``` |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +As a final touch, lets add some methods to listen animation events, and use Reacts useState to save it as a local state: |
| 269 | + |
| 270 | +```js{4-5,18-23,30-33,38-40,45} |
| 271 | +const MojsExample = ({ duration }) => { |
| 272 | + const animDom = useRef(); |
| 273 | + const bouncyCircle = useRef(); |
| 274 | + const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false); |
| 275 | + const [isAnimating, setIsAnimating] = useState(false); |
| 276 | +
|
| 277 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 278 | + if (bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 279 | +
|
| 280 | + bouncyCircle.current = new mojs.Shape({ |
| 281 | + parent: animDom.current, |
| 282 | + shape: "circle", |
| 283 | + fill: { "#FC46AD": "#F64040" }, |
| 284 | + radius: { 50: 200 }, |
| 285 | + duration: duration, |
| 286 | + isShowStart: true, |
| 287 | + easing: "elastic.inout", |
| 288 | + onStart() { |
| 289 | + setIsAnimating(true); |
| 290 | + }, |
| 291 | + onComplete() { |
| 292 | + setIsAnimating(false); |
| 293 | + }, |
| 294 | + }); |
| 295 | + }); |
| 296 | +
|
| 297 | + useEffect(() => { |
| 298 | + if (!bouncyCircle.current) return; |
| 299 | + bouncyCircle.current.tune({ duration: duration }); |
| 300 | + isOpen |
| 301 | + ? bouncyCircle.current.replayBackward() |
| 302 | + : bouncyCircle.current.replay(); |
| 303 | + setIsOpen(!isOpen); |
| 304 | + }, [duration]); |
| 305 | +
|
| 306 | + const clickHandler = useCallback(() => { |
| 307 | + // If the "modal" is open, play the animation backwards, else play it forwards |
| 308 | + isOpen ? bouncyCircle.current.playBackward() : bouncyCircle.current.play(); |
| 309 | + setIsOpen(!isOpen); |
| 310 | + }, [isOpen]); |
| 311 | +
|
| 312 | + return ( |
| 313 | + <div ref={animDom} className="MojsExample"> |
| 314 | + <button className="button" onClick={clickHandler}> |
| 315 | + {isAnimating && isOpen ? "Animating" : isOpen ? "Close" : "Open"} |
| 316 | + </button> |
| 317 | + </div> |
| 318 | + ); |
| 319 | +}; |
| 320 | +``` |
| 321 | + |
| 322 | +--- |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +## Create the root App and render the page |
| 325 | + |
| 326 | +Finally we import our component and add it to the root of our site. |
| 327 | + |
| 328 | +```js |
| 329 | +import React from "react"; |
| 330 | +import ReactDOM from "react-dom"; |
| 331 | + |
| 332 | +import MojsExample from "./MojsExample"; |
| 333 | + |
| 334 | +const rootElement = document.getElementById("root"); |
| 335 | +ReactDOM.render( |
| 336 | + <React.StrictMode> |
| 337 | + <MojsExample duration={2000} /> |
| 338 | + </React.StrictMode>, |
| 339 | + rootElement |
| 340 | +); |
| 341 | +``` |
| 342 | + |
| 343 | +You can see the full example and try it out here: [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/mojs-react-example-kbikb?file=/src/MojsExample.js). |
| 344 | +There is also a [button example](https://codesandbox.io/s/mojs-react-example-kbikb?file=/src/Button.js) with a `Burst` animation using an object pooling array. |
| 345 | + |
| 346 | +Happy animating!_ |
