gl-react is a universal React library for writing and composing WebGL shaders as declarative React components. It ships with concrete implementations for React DOM, React Native/Expo, and headless Node.js rendering.
Use cases
- render WebGL shader effects in React apps
- compose complex GLSL image effects from React components
- apply GPU shader filters to images in React Native
- render shaders headlessly in Node.js
- build shader-based visual demos and generative art
When to choose
- you want declarative, component-based WebGL shader composition
- you need the same shader code across web and React Native
- you are building image/video effects or generative visuals in React
When to avoid
- you need raw low-level WebGL control or 3D scene graphs
- your project does not use React
- you need Three.js-style meshes, lighting, or 3D models
