React Vertex is a hooks-based WebGL library for React that lets you build 3D scenes declaratively using React components and hooks. It provides a custom React reconciler-based scene renderer, geometry/material/math hooks, an orbit camera, and dev controls, organized as multiple npm packages.

Use cases

• render 3D WebGL scenes in React using hooks
• create declarative scene graphs with React components
• generate box, sphere, torus, plane geometries in React
• apply Phong or Lambert materials with point lights
• add an orbit camera with controls to a WebGL canvas
• learn WebGL through a React hooks API

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, hooks-first alternative to Three.js-style imperative WebGL in React
• you prefer building 3D scenes declaratively with React components
• you need fine-grained control over WebGL programs, geometries, and matrices

When to avoid

• you need a mature, feature-complete 3D engine with extensive lighting, animation, and asset loading
• you need production-grade stability - the library is explicitly experimental
• you want a large community and ecosystem of examples and plugins
• you need advanced lighting beyond point lights
