React-confetti is a lightweight React component that adds a confetti animation effect to your web applications. It creates a canvas overlay and renders customizable confetti particles, allowing developers to easily add celebratory or festive visual elements to their React projects.

Pros

• Easy to integrate into existing React projects
• Highly customizable with numerous configuration options
• Performant, using HTML5 canvas for rendering
• Responsive and works well on various screen sizes

Cons

• Limited to React applications only
• May impact performance on low-end devices if overused
• Requires additional setup for server-side rendering
• Documentation could be more comprehensive

Code Examples

1. Basic usage:

import Confetti from 'react-confetti'

function Celebration() {
  return (
    <Confetti />
  )
}

2. Customizing confetti properties:

import Confetti from 'react-confetti'

function CustomConfetti() {
  return (
    <Confetti
      width={1600}
      height={1000}
      numberOfPieces={200}
      gravity={0.3}
      colors={['#f00', '#0f0', '#00f']}
    />
  )
}

3. Using with window dimensions:

import Confetti from 'react-confetti'
import { useWindowSize } from 'react-use'

function WindowSizedConfetti() {
  const { width, height } = useWindowSize()
  return (
    <Confetti
      width={width}
      height={height}
    />
  )
}
