Here's a simple example of how to create and use a React component for Rive 2. This uses Rive's Wasm runtime.

There are two sample components:

SimpleAnimation continuously plays a looping animation. Provide it with the url to the file and the name of the animation to play:

<SimpleAnimation file='my_animation.riv' animation='MyAnimation' />

The KnightAnimation shows how to add custom behavior to an animation. When the animation is clicked on it toggles between two animations, mixing in, and transforming between, two animations in a file.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

npm update

will pull down the necessary dependencies.

npm start

runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits and you will also see any lint errors in the console.

• Rive's web runtime uses Wasm to create a small, performant engine. Not all web bundlers play nicely with Wasm; if you run into difficulties, check your pipeline's documentation. In this example, we load the Wasm file from the unpkg cdn, but could just as easily load it from your hosting environment. Take a look at the RiveLoader.js source file.

• If you get an error along the lines of Module not found: Can't resolve 'fs' and you're using webpack, try adding "node": { "fs": "empty" } to you config (webpack.config.js).
