[![Open in StackBlitz](https://developer.stackblitz.com/img/open_in_stackblitz.svg)](https://stackblitz.com/edit/unicornstudio-react-example?file=app%2Fpage.tsx)

A React component for embedding [Unicorn.Studio](https://unicorn.studio) interactive scenes in your applications. Compatible with both React (Vite) and Next.js frameworks.

> โš ๏ธ **Important**: This package is a community-created wrapper component and is **not officially affiliated** with Unicorn.Studio. It depends on Unicorn.Studio's proprietary script and services.

## Features

- ๐Ÿš€ **Easy Integration** - Simple React component for Next.js projects
- ๐ŸŽจ **Full TypeScript Support** - Complete type definitions included
- โšก **Performance Optimized** - Lazy loading and efficient resource management
- ๐Ÿ“ฑ **Responsive** - Works seamlessly across devices
- ๐ŸŽฎ **Interactive** - Support for mouse/touch interactions
- ๐Ÿ”ง **Flexible** - Extensive customization options
- ๐Ÿงน **Clean Architecture** - Proper cleanup and memory management
- ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ **Error Handling** - Comprehensive error states and fallbacks

## Installation

```bash
npm install unicornstudio-react
# or
yarn add unicornstudio-react
# or
pnpm add unicornstudio-react
```

## Usage

This package supports both React (Vite/CRA) and Next.js environments with optimized imports:

### For React (Vite, Create React App, etc.)

Use the default import for standard React applications:

```tsx
import UnicornScene from "unicornstudio-react";

export default function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <UnicornScene projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_EMBED_ID" width={800} height={600} />
  );
}
```

### For Next.js

Use the Next.js-optimized version with enhanced performance:

```tsx
import UnicornScene from "unicornstudio-react/next";

export default function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <UnicornScene projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_EMBED_ID" width={800} height={600} />
  );
}
```

> **Note**: The Next.js version uses Next.js `Script` and `Image` components for better performance and optimization. The React version uses standard `<script>` and `<img>` elements for broader compatibility.

### With Custom JSON File

**React (Vite/CRA):**

```tsx
import UnicornScene from "unicornstudio-react";

export default function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <UnicornScene
      jsonFilePath="/path/to/your/scene.json"
      width="100%"
      height="400px"
      scale={0.8}
      dpi={2}
    />
  );
}
```

**Next.js:**

```tsx
import UnicornScene from "unicornstudio-react/next";

export default function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <UnicornScene
      jsonFilePath="/path/to/your/scene.json"
      width="100%"
      height="400px"
      scale={0.8}
      dpi={2}
    />
  );
}
```

### Advanced Configuration

Both React and Next.js versions support the same props:

```tsx
// For React: import UnicornScene from "unicornstudio-react";
// For Next.js: import UnicornScene from "unicornstudio-react/next";
import UnicornScene from "unicornstudio-react";

export default function MyComponent() {
  const handleLoad = () => {
    console.log("Scene loaded successfully!");
  };

  const handleError = (error: Error) => {
    console.error("Scene loading failed:", error);
  };

  return (
    <UnicornScene
      projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_EMBED_ID"
      width="100vw"
      height="100vh"
      scale={1}
      dpi={1.5}
      fps={60}
      altText="Interactive 3D scene"
      ariaLabel="Animated background scene"
      className="my-custom-class"
      lazyLoad={true}
      production={true}
      onLoad={handleLoad}
      onError={handleError}
    />
  );
}
```

### Accessing the Scene Instance

Use the `sceneRef` prop when you want access to the underlying Unicorn Studio scene object after it initializes.

```tsx
import { useRef } from "react";
import UnicornScene, { type UnicornStudioScene } from "unicornstudio-react";

export default function MyComponent() {
  const sceneRef = useRef<UnicornStudioScene | null>(null);

  const pauseScene = () => {
    if (sceneRef.current) {
      sceneRef.current.paused = true;
    }
  };

  const resizeScene = () => {
    sceneRef.current?.resize?.();
  };

  return (
    <>
      <UnicornScene
        projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_EMBED_ID"
        width={800}
        height={600}
        sceneRef={sceneRef}
      />

      <button onClick={pauseScene}>Pause</button>
      <button onClick={resizeScene}>Resize</button>
    </>
  );
}
```

The `sceneRef` value is assigned once the scene finishes loading and is cleared automatically if the scene is destroyed or re-initialized.

## Placeholder Support

The component now supports flexible placeholder options that can be displayed while loading, on error, or when WebGL is not supported.

### Image Placeholder

```tsx
<UnicornScene
  projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
  placeholder="/path/to/placeholder.jpg"
  width={800}
  height={600}
/>
```

### CSS/Tailwind Placeholder

```tsx
<UnicornScene
  projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
  placeholderClassName="bg-gradient-to-r from-blue-500 to-purple-600 animate-pulse"
  width="100%"
  height="400px"
/>
```

### Custom React Component Placeholder

```tsx
<UnicornScene
  projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
  placeholder={
    <div className="flex items-center justify-center h-full bg-gray-100">
      <div className="text-center">
        <div className="animate-spin rounded-full h-12 w-12 border-b-2 border-gray-900 mx-auto"></div>
        <p className="mt-4 text-gray-600">Loading 3D Scene...</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  }
  width={600}
  height={400}
/>
```

### Placeholder Behavior Options

- `showPlaceholderWhileLoading`: Shows placeholder during scene initialization (default: `true`)
- `showPlaceholderOnError`: Shows placeholder when scene fails to load (default: `true`)
- The placeholder automatically shows when WebGL is not supported

## Styling

The component uses inline styles for maximum compatibility. You can customize the appearance by:

1. **Using the `className` prop** to add your own CSS classes
2. **Wrapping the component** in a styled container
3. **Using CSS variables** for dynamic dimensions:

```tsx
<div style={{ "--unicorn-width": "100%", "--unicorn-height": "500px" }}>
  <UnicornScene projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_ID" />
</div>
```

## Getting Your Project ID

1. Create your scene at [Unicorn Studio](https://unicorn.studio)
2. Click on "Embed" in the export options
3. Copy the project ID from the embed code

## Dependencies & Requirements

### Unicorn.Studio Script Dependency

This component **depends on Unicorn.Studio's proprietary script** (`unicornStudio.umd.js`) which:

- โœ… Is automatically loaded from Unicorn.Studio's official CDN
- โŒ Is **NOT bundled** or stored in this package
- ๐Ÿข Is **owned and hosted** by Unicorn.Studio (UNCRN LLC)
- โš–๏ธ Is subject to [Unicorn.Studio's Terms of Service](https://unicorn.studio/terms)

### Custom Script URL (Advanced)

```tsx
// โš ๏ธ Use custom script URL (may violate Unicorn.Studio TOS)
// Only use if you have explicit permission from Unicorn.Studio
const constants = {
  UNICORN_STUDIO_CDN_URL: "https://your-custom-cdn.com/unicornStudio.umd.js",
};
```

**Warning**: Using a custom script URL may violate Unicorn.Studio's Terms of Service. Consult their legal terms before implementing.

**React/Next.js Example usage:**

```tsx
<UnicornScene
  projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_EMBED_ID"
  sdkUrl="https://your-custom-cdn.com/unicornStudio.umd.js"
  width={800}
  height={600}
/>
```

### Browser Support

- Chrome (latest)
- Firefox (latest)
- Safari (latest)
- Edge (latest)
- Mobile browsers with WebGL support

## Versioning Strategy

This package's version **follows Unicorn.Studio's script version** (e.g., v1.4.26) to ensure compatibility. Version format:

- `1.4.26` - Matches Unicorn.Studio script v1.4.26
- Patch versions (e.g., `1.4.26-1`) may be added for component-specific fixes

## Performance Tips

1. **Use appropriate scale values** - Lower values (0.5-0.8) can significantly improve performance on lower-end devices
2. **Enable lazy loading** - Scenes will only initialize when visible
3. **Optimize your scenes** - Keep texture sizes reasonable in Unicorn Studio
4. **Set appropriate DPI** - Use lower DPI values for better performance

## Troubleshooting

### Scene not loading

- Verify your project ID is correct
- Check network requests for the Unicorn Studio script
- Ensure you're not mixing `projectId` and `jsonFilePath`

### Performance issues

- Reduce the `scale` prop value
- Lower the `dpi` setting
- Decrease `fps` for less demanding animations

### TypeScript errors

- Ensure you have the latest version installed
- Check that your tsconfig includes the necessary DOM types

## Development & Architecture

This component is based on the [official Unicorn.Studio React example](https://github.com/hiunicornstudio/unicornstudio.js/blob/main/components/unicornstudio-react.tsx) with the following improvements:
