About React 360 Product Viewer

There are a few javascript product viewers out there but none could deliver what I needed. A React component written in Typescript and free! With a lot of customization you can quickly setup this component. All you need is a set of images that represents an animation you would like your users to explore. Either through user-interaction or setting it to autoplay! Point the component to your image folder, set the name, count and image type and you are ready!

It can be controlled either using mouse or touch!

Main features:

• React component
• Uses Typescript
• Free
• Simple

Built With

• React.js
• styled-components
• Rollup
• Storybook

Getting Started

The package is published on npm and the repository now uses GitHub Actions plus Changesets for versioning and releases.

Prerequisites

React In order to use the component you need a React project. The library supports React 18 and React 19.

Installation

Make sure you have a react project - otherwise use: .

  npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript

1. Download through npm

 npm add react-360-product-viewer

3. Add the component to your page, change the properties to fit your need. For all options see storybook

<React360Viewer
  imagesBaseUrl="./imageSeries/"
  imagesCount={YOUR_IMAGE_SERIES_COUNT_HERE}
  imagesFiletype="png"
  mouseDragSpeed={20}
/>

Usage

TODO: Add descriptions of all parameters For more example and a playground please refer to storybook

Releases

Releases are managed through Changesets:

npm run changeset

Add a changeset in the pull request that changes the package. When the pull request is merged to master, GitHub Actions will open or update a release PR. Merging that release PR publishes the package to npm and creates the corresponding GitHub release automatically.

The npm package has a Trusted Publisher configured for GitHub owner Todilo, repository react-360-product-viewer, and workflow filename release.yml, with direct npm publish enabled. The release job uses Node 24 and GitHub's OIDC identity; no npm write token is needed. If the connection is recreated, these values must match the workflow and the npm package settings.

GitHub may require a maintainer to approve CI runs on a release PR created with GITHUB_TOKEN. Check that the release PR's required checks have run before merging it.

API

| Prop | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | imagesCount | Required | Number of frames in the image sequence. | | imagesBaseUrl | Required | Base URL of the image sequence, for example /frames/. | | imagesFiletype | Required | Image extension, for example png. | | imageIndexSeparator | / unless the URL ends in / | Text between the base URL and filename. | | imageFilenamePrefix | Empty | Text before each frame number. | | imageInitialIndex | 0 | Initial frame index, starting at zero. | | mouseDragSpeed | 20 | Frame change sensitivity while dragging. | | inertia | false | Smooths dragging toward the pointer position. It does not add momentum after release. | | autoplay | false | Advance frames automatically. | | autoplaySpeed | 10 | Frames per second. | | autoplayTarget | None | Stop when this zero-based frame index is reached, including when looping is enabled. | | autoplayLoop | true | When false, stop after one full revolution or at autoplayTarget, whichever comes first. | | stopAutoplayOnInteraction | true | When false, resume autoplay after a pointer interaction ends. | | reverse | false | Reverse drag and autoplay direction. | | width, height | 150 | Image dimensions in pixels when fillContainer is off; width also sets drag sensitivity in that mode. | | fillContainer | false | Fill the parent element's width and height and fit images inside it. Give the parent an explicit size. | | imagePosition | center | CSS object-position used when fillContainer is on. | | zeroPad | 0 | Number of leading zeroes before one-digit frame numbers. | | showRotationIconOnStartup | false | Show the rotation hint before interaction. | | customRotationIcon | None | Function returning a custom rotation hint. | | shouldNotifyEvents | false | Enable the coordinate callbacks below. | | notifyOnPointerDown, notifyOnPointerUp, notifyOnPointerMoved | None | Callbacks receiving pointer x and y coordinates. |

Standard HTML div attributes, including className, style, ARIA attributes, and pointer handlers, are forwarded to the viewer container.
