Notes

  • Original development of react-globe begun as react-3d-globe.
  • The release of React hooks was a huge motivation to rewrite react-3d-globe. Writing code in hooks allowed complete separation of responsibility of ThreeJS entities (e.g. camera, globe, markers, renderer). These separate effects can be updated in a controlled manner by listening explicitly to their dependencies passed down from the component props.
  • The react-globe project is heavily inspired by the metoorising visualization project. Many features in react-globe are based around requirements in this project.
  • The react-globe NPM package was transferred to me from the original package. Code is published to this package at version 3.0.0 to dissociate features and goals from the old package.
