Installation:

yarn install @firecms/neat three.js

or

npm install @firecms/neat three.js

Usage:

You can use the library to create a gradient in your website or application. You need to define a config and then create a new NeatGradient instance. You are encouraged to use the gradients editor to find your perfect config.

Simple example

import { NeatConfig, NeatGradient } from "@firecms/neat";

// Define your config
export const config: NeatConfig = {
    colors: [
        {
            color: "#FF5373",
            enabled: true
        },
        {
            color: "#FFC858",
            enabled: true
        },
        {
            color: "#17E7FF",
            enabled: true
        },
        {
            color: "#6D3BFF",
            enabled: true
        },
        {
            color: "#f5e1e5",
            enabled: false
        }
    ],
    speed: 4, // from 0 to 10
    horizontalPressure: 4, // from 0 to 10
    verticalPressure: 5, // from 0 to 10
    waveFrequencyX: 2, // from 0 to 10
    waveFrequencyY: 3, // from 0 to 10
    waveAmplitude: 5, // from 0 to 10
    shadows: 0, // from 0 to 10
    highlights: 2, // from 0 to 10
    saturation: 7, // from -10 to 10
    wireframe: false,
    colorBlending: 6, // from 0 to 10
    backgroundColor: "#003FFF",
    backgroundAlpha: 1 // from 0 to 1
};


// define an element with id="gradient" in your html
const neat = new NeatGradient({
    ref: document.getElementById("gradient"),
    ...config
});

// you can change the config at any time
neat.speed = 6;

// you can also destroy the gradient for cleanup
// e.g. returning from a useEffect hook in React
neat.destroy();

React example

import React, { useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react";
import { NeatConfig, NeatGradient } from "@firecms/neat";

export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {

    const canvasRef = useRef<HTMLCanvasElement | null>(null);
    const gradientRef = useRef<NeatGradient | null>(null);

    useEffect(() => {

        if (!canvasRef.current)
            return;

        gradientRef.current = new NeatGradient({
            ref: canvasRef.current,
            "colors": [

        });

        return gradientRef.current.destroy;

    }, [canvasRef.current]);

    return (
        <canvas
            className={bgColor}
            style={{
                isolation: "isolate",
