Get started

Quick start

If you want to start a new React project from scratch, we recommend Vite. To add to an existing React application, just install the dependencies:

Start New React Project "my-app" with Create React Vite:

# for typescript use "--template react-ts"
npx create-vite@latest --template react my-app
cd my-app

Install Pixi React Dependencies:

npm install pixi.js@7 @pixi/react@7

Usage:

import { BlurFilter } from 'pixi.js';
import { Stage, Container, Sprite, Text } from '@pixi/react';
import { useMemo } from 'react';

export const MyComponent = () =>
{
  const blurFilter = useMemo(() => new BlurFilter(4), []);

  return (
    <Stage options={{ background: 0xffffff }}>
      <Sprite
        image="https://pixijs.io/pixi-react/img/bunny.png"
        x={400}
        y={270}
        anchor={{ x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }}
      />

      <Container x={400} y={330}>
        <Text text="Hello World" anchor={{ x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }} filters={[blurFilter]} />
      </Container>
    </Stage>
  );
};
