React-phaser

A React-based wrapper for phaser.

React-phaser allows game developers to create Phaser games using React. Main features:

• Phaser objects are represented as React VDOM nodes; react-phaser reacts to VDOM changes by adding, updating or removing Phaser objects.
• React-phaser users a React version unhooked from browser DOM manipulation.

See the example code to see an implementation of the Phaser Making your first game tutorial.

Getting started

Install with:

npm install react-phaser

In your code:

var React = require('react-phaser'),

    MyGame = React.createClass({
    	render: function () {
			return <game/>;
		}
    });

React.render(<MyGame/>, 'game');

• require('react-phaser') provides the same object as require('react'); however, when react-phaser is first loaded it removes the DOM manipulation functionality from React, and inject the Phaser wrapper.
• React.render is a method added by react-phaser. that initializes the React lifecycle for the passed element. The second parameter (a string) identifies the virtual container where the game is rendered. This is not a DOM element, but simply a react-phaser internal unique string.
• <game> is one of the tags that react-phaser makes available (see list of available tags).
