react-native-confetti

React native component to show confetti. It can be used as raining snow effect animation, with option to use unicode / emoji or use image as the flying pieces.

snow effect

(the animation is not lagging. it's because you need to wait for the gif asset to load)

shake effect

(the animation is not lagging. it's because you need to wait for the gif asset to load)

Getting Started

Dependencies

To be able to dynamically enabling confetti or change the character, your react native app must:

1. Install react-native-firebase (the Core module and Remote Config module)

2. Set up your app to use Firebase

3. Create 5 parameters with value of string in your project's remote config:

   parameter	example value	description
   confetti_enabled	1	set 1 to enable, set 0 to disable
   confetti_image_name	snowflake	if it has value, the flying piece of the Confetti will use this parameter instead of confetti_character. if you want to use character instead, set this parameter to empty string. Further explanation in using image will be given in next section
   confetti_character	❅	set this value with any character or unicode / emoji. eg: ❅, ❤️, ?. if parameter confetti_image_name is not empty string, this parameter is not being used
   confetti_type	shake	set the value shake or snow. With snow, you just use vertical falling animation. With shake you get additional horizontal shake animation.
   confetti_color	#6FC4C7	hexadecimal value string

Installation process

Using npm:

npm i @hyperjumptech/react-native-confetti --save

or using yarn:

yarn add @hyperjumptech/react-native-confetti

Usage

Minimal usage

import package

import {Confetti} from '../react-native-confetti';

then put the component inside render

<Confetti
  isEnabled={true}
  color={"#6FC4C7"}
  character={"❅"}
/>

With firebase remote config usage

import package

import {Confetti, fetchConfettiFromFirebase} from '../react-native-confetti';

define state to hold the parameters

state = {
  confetti: {
    confetti_type: 'snow',
    confetti_color: '',
    confetti_character: '',
    confetti_image_name: '',
    confetti_enabled: false,
  }
}

define the parameters and call function to get data from firebase remote config

const keys = [
  'confetti_type',
  'confetti_color',
  'confetti_character',
  'confetti_enabled',
  'confetti_image_name',
];

fetchConfetti(keys).then((confetti) => {
  this.setState({confetti});
});

then put component inside render

const {confetti} = this.state

return (
  <Confetti
    isEnabled={confetti.confetti_enabled}
    color={confetti.confetti_color}
    character={confetti.confetti_character}
    effect={confetti.confetti_type}
  />
)

Usage with image instead of character

If you wish to use image, you can use image from predefined asset (not a dynamic url). So the step is same as above with additional step to define image path and size:

const images = {
  snowflake: {
    path: require('../../path_to_snowflake_image_asset.png'),
    size: 24
  },
  heart: {
    path: require('../../path_to_heart_image_asset.jpeg'),
    size: 24
  },
};

then add the imageComponent props

<Confetti
  ...
  imageComponent={
  !!confetti.confetti_image_name ? (
    <Image
      source={images[confetti.confetti_image_name].path}
      style={{
        width: images[confetti.confetti_image_name].size,
        height: images[confetti.confetti_image_name].size,
      }}
    />
  ) : (
    undefined
  )
}
/>
