@react-three/drei - Useful Helpers for react-three-fiber
A collection of useful helpers and abstractions for react-three-fiber, making it easier to build 3D scenes with React components. Simplify common tasks, add performance optimizations, and leverage ready-made components.
Project Introduction
Summary
DREI is an open-source library that complements react-three-fiber by offering a growing collection of production-ready helpers, hooks, and components designed to simplify the development of 3D web experiences in React.
Problem Solved
react-three-fiber provides a powerful declarative API for Three.js, but certain common tasks still require writing repetitive code. DREI provides a curated set of abstractions that solve these problems, accelerating development and improving code readability.
Core Features
Declarative Geometries & Shapes
Provides common 3D geometries, shapes, and primitives as declarative React components, reducing boilerplate.
Useful Hooks
Offers helpful hooks for common R3F patterns like hovering, active states, and object selection.
Pre-made Components & Utilities
Includes components for common tasks like loading 3D models, adding text, handling performance optimizations, and adding post-processing effects.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
DREI is useful in a variety of scenarios where you are using react-three-fiber to build 3D web applications:
Adding Common 3D Objects
Details
Easily add standard 3D shapes (like Box, Sphere, Plane) or complex geometries (like Text, Billboard) to your scene with minimal code.
User Value
Reduces boilerplate code for common 3D elements, speeding up scene composition.
Loading and Displaying 3D Models
Details
Utilize hooks like `useGLTF` or `useFBX` to load 3D models efficiently, or components like `Preload` to manage asset loading.
User Value
Simplifies asynchronous model loading and asset management within the React component tree.
Handling User Interactions
Details
Implement common user interactions like hovering over objects or selecting them using dedicated hooks.
User Value
Provides ready-made solutions for typical interaction patterns, saving development time.
