Feature Request: the @inlet/react-pixi package should be taken down or the docs amended to note it's deprecated #411

Description

Searching for pixiJS and react lead me to @inlet/react-pixi. It would be better for new users to be directed more forcefully towards this repo IMO. I lost an hour or two trying to figure out why it wouldn't work I'm assuming React18.. :-(

Maybe this npm page could be amended: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@inlet/react-pixi And the docs page here: https://reactpixi.org, where the install instruction is npm install @inlet/react-pixi --save

Wow, I just had the exact same problem. Wasted an hour working with the wrong package.

Wasted 2 hours downgrading all of my dependencies for this..

Same.

Well I am glad that I found this issue ... after 30 minutes of trying I almost started to look for an alternative 😄

+1 - Was following https://reactpixi.org/ thinking it was the official docs

@inlet I believe you can help with this, since you own that older package.

I'd recommend deprecating the package by running npm deprecate @inlet/react-pixi "package moved to @pixi/react" This will leave old versions accessible, but will show a warning when installing the package and on the npm page.

Good point guys! Sorry to hear it wasted your valuable time.

I’ll deprecate the package with a good deprecation message and bring down reactpixi.org asap

inlet commented 1 year ago

I've just deprecated the npm package @inlet/react-pixi and removed the reactpixi.org site as this is no longer needed.
