React DVD Screensaver

DVD-era nostalgia in React.

Demo

Try the project on Stackblitz

npm i react-dvd-screensaver

Use hook

To add a DVD screensaver effect to your React components, you can use the useDvdScreensaver hook. This hook provides you with references for both the parent (container) and the child (moving element), along with the number of times the child has hit the edges of the container.

import { useDvdScreensaver } from 'react-dvd-screensaver'

...

const { containerRef, elementRef } = useDvdScreensaver();

return (
  <div ref={containerRef}>
    <MyScreensaverComponent ref={elementRef} />
  </div>
)

Pass the ref objects for parent and child to their respective components. Just remember to set the dimensions for both of them, where the childRef component naturally is smaller than the parent so there is room for it to move around.

Hook returns following:
parentRef: refObject	Ref of the parent container component
elementRef: refObject	Ref of the element to animate
impactCount: number	Number of times the element has hit the container edges

Hook Options

The hook accepts the following parameters:

Option	Type	Description
speed	number	Speed of the animation
freezeOnHover	boolean	Whether to pause the animation on hover
hoverCallback	Function	Callback function triggered on hover

Component

For easier implementation, you can also use the DvdScreensaver component to wrap any child component with the DVD screensaver effect.

import { DvdScreensaver } from 'react-dvd-screensaver'

...

return (
  <div className="screensaver-container">
    <DvdScreensaver>
      <MyScreensaverComponent />
    </DvdScreensaver>
  </div>
)

The component inherits the parent container's dimensions by default, but you can also specify dimensions or styling directly via props.

Props

Prop	Type	Description
className	string	Optional CSS class for the container
freezeOnHover	boolean	Pause animation when hovered
height	number	Optional height for the container
width	number	Optional width for the container
`hoverCallback	Function	Callback function triggered on hover
impactCallback	(count: number) => void	Callback function triggered on impact with edges
speed	number	Speed of the animation
