react-use-loader

A React Hook for simplifying basic usage of Three.js model loaders

This hook returns an object with two properties:

• a boolean state loading, that indicates whether it is waiting for a resource to load;

• an asynchronous method load, that receives one of the Three.js model loader classes and an URI, and returns the corresponding model.
