Main features:

Getting started

Since React Native 0.60 and higher, autolinking makes the installation process much simpler.

$ yarn add react-native-gl-model-view

# Update your pods (iOS)
$ cd ios
$ pod install

Using React Native Link (React Native 0.59 and lower)

Run react-native link react-native-gl-model-view after which you should be able to use this library on iOS and Android.

iOS Manual installation

$ yarn add react-native-gl-model-view

Afterwards add following lines to your Podfile:

pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native'
pod 'RNGLModelView', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-gl-model-view'

Android Manual installation

$ yarn add react-native-gl-model-view

Afterwards, add the following lines to the android/settings.gradle file:

include ':react-native-gl-model-view'
project(':react-native-gl-model-view').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-gl-model-view/android/app')

Finally, add the react-native-gl-model-view project as a dependency of the android/app/build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile project(':react-native-gl-model-view')
    ...
}

Usage

Model and texture loading

iOS

To load a model on iOS, you need to put the file at the root of your Xcode project via the editor.

Android

To load a model on Android, you need to place the model in the android/app/src/main/assets folder. Create a new folder if it doesn't exist yet.

Static

import ModelView from 'react-native-gl-model-view';

<ModelView
    model={{
      uri: 'model.obj',
    }}
    texture={{
      uri: 'texture.png',
    }}

    scale={0.01}

    translateZ={-2}
    rotateZ={270}

    style={{flex: 1}}
/>

Animated

Make the <ModelView>'s native props animatable by wrapping the Animated API around it:

import ModelView from 'react-native-gl-model-view';
import { Animated, Easing } from 'react-native';

const AnimatedModelView = Animated.createAnimatedComponent(ModelView);

As this usage of the Animated API is kinda hacky, you must call the private __makeNative() method on all Animated.Values before using Animated.multiply and such.

constructor() {
    this.state = {
        zoom: new Animated.Value(0),
        // ...
    };
    Object.keys(this.state).forEach(key =>
        this.state[key] instanceof Animated.Value &&
        this.state[key].__makeNative()
    );
}

Now you can apply all the Animated API magic to the <AnimatedModelView>'s props.

render() {
    <AnimatedModelView
        ...
        animate={true}
        translateZ={this.state.zoom}
    />
}
componentDidMount() {
    Animated.timing(this.state.zoom, {
        toValue: -2,
        useNativeDriver: true,
        duration: 2000,
        easing: Easing.bounce
    }).start();
}
