Release Notes

pmndrs/react-three-fiber (@​react-three/fiber)

v9.6.0: - Sunset X

Compare Source

Ever tried using <shaderMaterial uniforms={{ time: { value: time } }} /> and ran into immediate issues with desync? No more.

The uniforms objects on ShaderMaterial and its derivatives now have a stable reference. Objects passed into uniforms will instead copy into it. This is the same as behavior for math structures that have copy such as position, rotation, quaternion, etc. and ends up simplifying using the raw JSX where utilities were often introduced before.

Why does this matter?

1. Improves HMR. Even if you memoize the uniforms object it will still regenerate and desync Three. Now this won't happen. But also it makes compatibility with React compiler more complete with its auto-memoization.

2. Allows for inline uniform props and even prop uniforms directly on the material piercing.

<shaderMaterial
  vertexShader={vertexShader}
  fragmentShader={fragmentShader}
  // The uniforms object has a stable reference so objects can be safely merged in
  uniforms={{ 
    uTime: { value: 0 }, 
    uColor: { value: new THREE.Color('hotpink') } 
  }}
  // Individual uniforms can also be safely updated with pierce notation
  uniforms-uColor-value={hovered ? 'royalblue' : 'hotpink'}
/>

Summary by cubic

Update @react-three/fiber to v9.6.0 to improve ShaderMaterial uniform stability and HMR reliability. No app code changes required.

• Dependencies
