Run Createjs inside React?


I was trying to test run createjs inside React but I cant find anyway to run this. Would someone point out what I did wrong please. Thanks

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";

export default class CanvasChart extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
   super();
  }

  componentDidMount(){
   var canvas = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs.canvas);
   this.stage = new createjs.Stage(canvas);
   var circle = new createjs.Shape();
   circle.graphics.beginFill("DeepSkyBlue").drawCircle(0, 0, 50);
   circle.x = 100;
   circle.y = 100;
   this.stage.addChild(circle);
   this.stage.update();
  }

  render() {
   return (
     <canvas ref="canvas" width="500" height="300"></canvas>
   );
  }
}

Solution

  • Your code actually works, maybe you're doing something wrong with your configuration.

    class CanvasChart extends React.Component {
      constructor() {
       super();
      }
    
      componentDidMount(){
       var canvas = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs.canvas);
       this.stage = new createjs.Stage(canvas);
       var circle = new createjs.Shape();
       circle.graphics.beginFill("DeepSkyBlue").drawCircle(0, 0, 50);
       circle.x = 100;
       circle.y = 100;
       this.stage.addChild(circle);
       this.stage.update();
      }
    
      render() {
       return (
         <canvas ref="canvas" width="500" height="300"></canvas>
       );
      }
    }
    
    
    ReactDOM.render(<CanvasChart />,
      document.getElementById('root')
    );
