Concept

Basic Example

<img src="doc/example1.png" width="40%">
jsx
import { Planet } from 'react-planet'; export function MyPlanet() { return ( <Planet centerContent={ <div style={{ height: 100, width: 100, borderRadius: '50%', backgroundColor: '#1da8a4', }} /> } open autoClose > <div style={{ height: 70, width: 70, borderRadius: '50%', backgroundColor: '#9257ad', }} /> <div style={{ height: 70, width: 70, borderRadius: '50%', backgroundColor: '#9257ad', }} /> </Planet> ); }

Change the orbit

<img src="doc/example2.png" width="40%">
jsx
<Planet centerContent={div style={...yourStlye}/>} open orbitRadius={120} rotation={30} ... >

Orbit Style

<img src="doc/example3.png" width="40%">
jsx
<Planet orbitStyle={(defaultStyle) => ({ ...defaultStyle, borderWidth: 4, borderStyle: 'dashed', borderColor: '#6f03fc', })} centerContent={<div className={classes.planetSmall} />} open > <div className={classes.satellite1} /> <div className={classes.satellite2} /> <div className={classes.satellite3} /> </Planet>

Weird satellites and their orientation

<img src="doc/react-planet_satelliteOrientation.gif" width="60%">
jsx
<Planet // set one of the orientations satelliteOrientation="INSIDE"

Bring it to life

<img src="doc/react-planet_bring_it_to_life.gif" width="40%">
jsx
<Planet dragablePlanet dragRadiusPlanet={20} bounce

Planetception

Nested planets

Code: /src/stories/Planetception.stories.tsx

Fake the space

<img src="doc/react-planet_space.gif" width="30%">
jsx
<Planet centerContent={<YourButton0 />} hideOrbit autoClose orbitRadius={60} bounceOnClose rotation={105} // the bounce direction is minimal visible // but on close it seems the button wobbling a bit to the bottom bounceDirection="BOTTOM" > <YourButton1 /> <YourButton2 /> <YourButton3 /> <div /> <div /> <div /> <div /> </Planet>

Alter the physics

<img src="doc/react-planet_physic.gif" width="50%">
jsx
<Planet mass={4} tension={500} friction={19}
