A simple, fun project for the sake of creating some cool-looking abstract shapes with little grainy gradients crafted by @realvjy. Coolshapes is a completely open-source set of 100+ abstract shapes crafted for any design and development projects. Free for both commercial and personal use. Licensed under MIT.
npm install coolshapes-reactor
yarn add coolshapes-reactThere are two types of components available in Coolshapes, which you can use: Global component and Component for each category of shapes. and, you can pass additional props to adjust the shapes.
Just import the Global component Coolshape and it will work.
import { Coolshape } from "coolshapes-react";
const App = () => {
return <Coolshape type="star" index={0} size={48} noise={true}/>;
};
export default App;You can import the component for specific category - Star,Ellipse... etc - and simply pass the index of the shape.
import { Star } from "coolshapes-react";
const App = () => {
return <Star index={0} size={48}/>;
};
export default App;setting the random prop to true or leaving the index or type prop empty would replace the shape with a
random shape every time it renders.
// renders a random shape from any category
const Component = () => {
return <Coolshape random={true}/>;
};
// renders a shape from the category star
const Component2 = () => {
return <Coolshape type="star" random={true}/>;
};import { getRandomShape } from "coolshapes-react";getRandomShape(); // returns a random shape componentgetRandomShape({ type: "ellipse" }); // returns a random shape component from the category ellipsegetRandomShape({ onlyId: true }); // returns shape identifier that can passed as props to the shape component
// {shapeType, index}getRandomShape({ onlyId: true, type: "star" }); // returns shape identifier that can passed as props to the shape component
// {shapeType: "star", index}All the components are mapped from object that we have given you access to
const shapes = {
star: [Star1, Star2, ...],
ellipse: [Ellipse1, Ellipse2, ...],
...
}import { shapes } from "coolshapes-react";
const ShapeGrid = () => {
return (
<>
{
Object.keys(shapes).map((shapeType, _) => {
return shapes[shapeType].map((Shape, index) => {
return <Shape size={48} />;
});
})}
</>
);
};shapes[type][index];const starComponents = shapes["star"];
const StarComponent1 = starComponents[0];| name | data type | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|
size |
Number | 200 | The dimension of shape |
type |
String | random | The category of shapes, if left empty it will randomly select a category. |
noise |
Boolean | true | Whether to add noise to the shape or not. |
index |
Number | random | The index of shape within the shape category, it would randomly select a shape from the category if type prop given. index starts from 0. |
random |
Boolean | false | If set true it will select a random component |
Index starts from number 0, so if you want to retrieve the first shape of any category, you would use the index number 0.
The shapes are SVG components behind the hood, so it's also supports all the props that can be passed in a svg element.
There are a total of 115 shapes available in Coolshapes under the following categories.
| name | count |
|---|---|
star |
13 |
triangle |
14 |
moon |
15 |
polygon |
8 |
flower |
16 |
rectangle |
9 |
ellipse |
12 |
wheel |
7 |
misc |
11 |
number |
10 |
Note: While passing the category name in the component, the name will be in lower case.
all the components have classname coolshapes assigned as default, but you can also pass custom classname of yours.
import { Star } from 'coolshapes-react';
export const Shape = () => {
return(
<Star className={"myshape"}/>
)
}// make the shapes size responsive similar to img elements.
.coolshapes{
width: 100%;
max-height: 48px;
}We have given umd, es and cjs versions of the build.
