HexCanvas

HexCanvas is a library that generates a grid of hexagons inside of an HTML Canvas element. It can be used to string together animations, or perform actions based on user interactions.

Getting Started

To start, use the HexGrid constructor:

import { HexGrid } from 'canvas-hex-grid';
const container = document.getElementById('someElement');
const hexGrid = new HexGrid(container);

This will generate a canvas element inside of the HTML container passed to the constructor. Optionally, you can also pass a number as the second parameter that will indicate the size of the hexagons being generated. Once you have your hexGrid instance, you can call getHexagon to grab hexagons at specific coordinates, and use the Hexagon interface to control them.

const hexagon = hexGrid.getHexagon({x: 10, y: 15});
hexagon.flicker({speed: 1, delay: 0}); // animate a flicker

// grab a full line of hexagons:
const line = hexGrid.getLine({x: 10, y: 15});
line.staggeredFadeIn({speed: 1, delay: 0}); // Fade in each hexagon in the line, one at a time
