Documentation and Development references here 📖
This library is available on two of the most popular CDNs and it's easy and ready to use, if you were using particles.js it's even easier.
You'll find the instructions below, with all the links you need, and don't be scared by TypeScript, it's just the source language.
The output files are just JavaScript. 🤩
CDNs and npm have all the sources you need in Javascript, a bundle browser ready (tsparticles.engine.min.js), and
all
files splitted for import syntax.
If you are interested there are some simple instructions just below to guide you to migrate from the old particles.js library.
Library installation
Hosting / CDN
Please use these hosts or your own to load tsParticles on your projects
jsDelivr
cdnjs
unpkg
https://unpkg.com/tsparticles-engine/ https://unpkg.com/tsparticles-slim/ https://unpkg.com/tsparticles/
npm
tsParticles Engine
tsParticles Slim
tsParticles
npm install tsparticles-engine
yarn
yarn add tsparticles-engine
pnpm
pnpm install tsparticles-engine
Import and require
Starting from version 1.12.11 import and require can be used to import tsParticles .
Now you can write something like this
const tsParticles = require("tsparticles-engine");
// or
import { tsParticles } from "tsparticles-engine";
The imported tsParticles is the same instance you have when including the script.
NuGet
Usage
Load tsParticles and configure the particles:
index.html
<div id="tsparticles"></div>
<script src="tsparticles.engine.min.js"></script>
app.js
// @path-json can be an object or an array, the first will be loaded directly, and the object from the array will be randomly selected
/* tsParticles.loadJSON(@dom-id, @path-json, @callback (optional)); */
tsParticles
.loadJSON("tsparticles", "presets/default.json")
.then(container => {
console.log("callback - tsparticles config loaded");
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
//or
/* tsParticles.load(@dom-id, @options); */
tsParticles.load("tsparticles", {
/* options here */
});
//or
/* tsParticles.loadFromArray(@dom-id, @options, @index (optional)); */
tsParticles.loadFromArray("tsparticles", [
{
/* options here */
},
{
/* other options here */
},
]);
//random object
tsParticles.loadFromArray(
"tsparticles",
[
{
/* options here */
},
{
/* other options here */
},
],
1
); //the second one
// Important! If the index is not in range 0...<array.length, the index will be ignored.
// after initialization this can be used.
/* tsParticles.setOnClickHandler(@callback); */
/* this will be fired from all particles loaded */
tsParticles.setOnClickHandler((event, particles) => {
/* custom on click handler */
});
// now you can control the animations too, it's possible to pause and resume the animations
// these methods don't change the config so you're safe with all your configurations
// domItem(0) returns the first tsParticles instance loaded in the dom
const particles = tsParticles.domItem(0);
// play will start the animations, if the move is not enabled it won't enable it, it just updates the frame
particles.play();
// pause will stop the animations
particles.pause();
