React and 3D Graphics
To understand how you can use Three.js in React applications, you first need to know how React's rendering model works and how it differs from the approach used by imperative libraries like Three.js. React uses a declarative model for building user interfaces. This means you describe what you want the UI to look like at any point in time, and React takes care of updating the DOM to match your description. You typically write components as functions or classes that return JSX, which React then translates into DOM elements.
Three.js, on the other hand, is imperative. You create and manipulate 3D objects by calling methods directly on objects, such as adding meshes to a scene, updating their positions, or changing their materials. You are responsible for managing the state and updates of these objects yourself, and you control the rendering loop that draws the scene onto a canvas.
Because React and Three.js use different models for managing UI and state, integrating them can be challenging. React expects to control the DOM and the state of the UI, while Three.js expects to control the rendering of the 3D scene directly. This can lead to conflicts if both try to update the same canvas or DOM node, or if their state management systems are not kept in sync.
There are several common approaches for using Three.js in React. One approach is direct integration, where you use React to create a container element (such as a div or canvas) and then initialize and manage the Three.js scene inside React lifecycle methods like useEffect or componentDidMount. In this setup, React is responsible for mounting and unmounting the canvas, but Three.js handles all rendering and updates within that canvas.
Another approach uses helper libraries that bridge the gap between React's declarative model and Three.js's imperative API. Libraries such as react-three-fiber allow you to describe 3D scenes using JSX, making it feel more like writing regular React components. These libraries handle the translation from declarative React code to imperative Three.js commands, managing the synchronization between React state and the 3D scene.
Choosing the right approach depends on your application's needs, your familiarity with React and Three.js, and the complexity of the 3D interactions you need to support.

Can you explain the pros and cons of direct integration versus using a helper library like react-three-fiber?
How do I decide which approach is best for my project?
Can you give an example of how to set up Three.js in a React component?
Mahtavaa!
