Galleria dom manipulation in React

Question

I am trying to implement the image gallery using Galleria plugin in Reactjs, write now I have used the npm package Galleria, jQuery to use inside the components and i am passing the reference of the root node to Galleria run function. But still, I am unable to see the image gallery, please let me know, what is the problem here.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Galleria from 'galleria';
import $ from 'jquery';


class AssetImages extends Component{
    constructor(props){
        super(props);
    }

    componentDidMount(){

    }

    componentDidUpdate(){
        if(this.props.dataLakeImages.length !== 0){
            Galleria.run(this.rootNode);
        }
    }

    render(){
        return (
                    <div className="rs-assets-health-bg1">
                            <div className="content">
                                <div className="galleria" ref={node => (this.rootNode = node)}>
