React & PixiJS applications without React declarative style

[jjwallace 23]

Is it possible to just drop in a pixi application into a component without using pixi-react or anything like this?  It is hard to find a solution to this.  I am not really into declaritive style for building out this application...

There are several solutions but I'm too lazy to search them for you  This one I found on https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/wiki/Boilerplate  :   https://github.com/dakom/html5-boilerplate/tree/react

Thanks @ivan.popelyshev , yeah i tried these, none are what im looking for.  

Just React and Pixi in ES6, no typescript shananagans. I am just gonna have to build my own. ok here we go.

 

Declarative style coding is horrible, front end devs be messing with crap and polluting stuff

I consulted one small company yesterday and they said that they tried multiple solutions for react+pixi and started making their own.

The only thing you have to be aware is that you have to dismantle PIXI.Application and make your own. Also, when you create renderer, it creates interactionManager that binds events to the canvas. https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/wiki/v5-Custom-Application-GameLoop - everything is right there except "interactionManager" part, its still inside renderer and can't be created from outside.
