Introducing React DFP

React DFP is a robust tool for integrating Google’s DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) API into React applications in a streamlined, efficient manner. This package was inspired by the well-regarded jQuery.dfp library and aims to provide similar ease of use while incorporating React concepts and lifecycle features.

Installation

Getting started with React DFP is straightforward. Developers can quickly install it without worrying about additional dependencies by using either npm or yarn:

npm install --save react-dfp

Or, alternatively:

yarn add react-dfp

For more comprehensive guidance, developers can visit the React-dfp site.

Getting Started

React DFP is crafted specifically for React applications, enabling developers to easily serve DFP ads by simply using React components. This approach means developers won’t need to manually initialize any calls when the page loads. Instead, React DFP handles everything behind the scenes, abstracting away the complexity of the Google DFP/GPT API.

Here’s a brief example showcasing how effortlessly ads render on a page once a component mounts. The DFPSlotsProvider and AdSlot components from React DFP make this possible:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { DFPSlotsProvider, AdSlot } from 'react-dfp';

class Page extends Component {
   render() {
     return (
        <DFPSlotsProvider>
         <AdSlot adUnit="home/leaderboard" sizes={[ [900, 90], [728, 90]]} />
         <AdSlot adUnit="home/mobile" sizes={[ [300, 250], [300, 600]]} />
         <div>
           <AdSlot adUnit="home/footer" sizes={[ [300, 250], [300, 600]]} />
         </div>
       </DFPSlotsProvider>
     );
   }
}
