React Unity WebGL

Bringing your Unity Games to the Web since 2017!

When bringing your Unity Application to the web, you might need to communicate with Components on a webpage, build interactive interfaces or might want to implement functionality using Web APIs which Unity does not expose. Combining Unity with React is a great way to achieve these goals. React Unity WebGL provides a modern solution for embedding Unity WebGL builds in your React Application while providing advanced APIs for two way communication and interaction between Unity and React.

% npm install react-unity-webgl

Hello World

A basic example showing how to embed a Unity WebGL build in your React Application.
import React from "react";
import { Unity, useUnityContext } from "react-unity-webgl";

function App() {
  const { unityProvider } = useUnityContext({
    loaderUrl: "build/myunityapp.loader.js",
    dataUrl: "build/myunityapp.data",
    frameworkUrl: "build/myunityapp.framework.js",
    codeUrl: "build/myunityapp.wasm",
  });

  return <Unity unityProvider={unityProvider} />;
}

An example showing how to use the Unity Context to provide a loading state.
import React from "react";
import { Unity, useUnityContext } from "react-unity-webgl";

function App() {
  const { unityProvider, loadingProgression, isLoaded } = useUnityContext({
    loaderUrl: "build/myunityapp.loader.js",
    dataUrl: "build/myunityapp.data",
    frameworkUrl: "build/myunityapp.framework.js",
    codeUrl: "build/myunityapp.wasm",
  });

  return (
    <Fragment>
      {!isLoaded && (
        <p>Loading Application... {Math.round(loadingProgression * 100)}%</p>
      )}
      <Unity
        unityProvider={unityProvider}
        style={{ visibility: isLoaded ? "visible" : "hidden" }}
      />
    </Fragment>
  );
}

An advanced example showing how to use the Unity Context to communicate between Unity and React.
import React, { Fragment } from "react";
import { Unity, useUnityContext } from "react-unity-webgl";

function App() {
  const [isGameOver, setIsGameOver] = useState(false);
  const [userName, setUserName] = useState();
  const [score, setScore] = useState();

  const { unityProvider, sendMessage, addEventListener, removeEventListener } =
    useUnityContext({
      loaderUrl: "build/myunityapp.loader.js",
      dataUrl: "build/myunityapp.data",
      frameworkUrl: "build/myunityapp.framework.js",
      codeUrl: "build/myunityapp.wasm",
    });

  const handleGameOver = useCallback((userName, score) => {
    setIsGameOver(true);
    setUserName(userName);
    setScore(score);
  }, []);

  useEffect(() => {
    addEventListener("GameOver", handleGameOver);
    return () => {
      removeEventListener("GameOver", handleGameOver);
    };
  }, [addEventListener, removeEventListener, handleGameOver]);

  function handleClickSpawnEnemies() {
    sendMessage("GameController", "SpawnEnemies", 100);
  }

  return (
    <Fragment>
      <Unity unityProvider={unityProvider} />
      <button onClick={handleClickSpawnEnemies}>Spawn Enemies</button>
      {isGameOver === true && (
        <p>{`Game Over ${userName}! You've scored ${score} points.`}</p>
      )}
    </Fragment>
  );
}
