## Do you want to use it on your website?

_Documentation and Development references [here](https://particles.js.org/docs/) 📖_

**This library is available on the two 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](https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles/blob/main/README.md#library-installation), 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](https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles/blob/main/README.md#library-installation) 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_**

```

### **_yarn_**

```shell
yarn add tsparticles-engine
```

### **_pnpm_**

```shell
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

```javascript
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:

[![tsParticles demo](https://media.giphy.com/media/ftHwBpp3b0qNyCXRuu/giphy.gif)](https://particles.js.org)

**index.html**

```html
<div id="tsparticles"></div>

<script src="tsparticles.engine.min.js"></script>
```

**app.js**

```javascript
// @path-json can be an object or an array, the first will be loaded directly, the object from the array will be random 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();
```

Want to see ever more demos? Clone the repository on your computer and follow these instructions

```shell
$ pnpm i
$ npx lerna run build
$ cd demo/vanilla
$ pnpm run start
```

**Boom! 💥** <http://localhost:3000> and you can checkout other demos.

_If you are brave enough_ you can switch to the `dev` branch for trying the features under development.

## Migrating from Particles.js

**tsParticles** has a package that makes this library 100% compatible with the _particles.js_ configuration.

[![jsDelivr](https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/tsparticles-particles.js/badge?style=rounded)](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/tsparticles-particles.js) [![npmjs](https://badge.fury.io/js/tsparticles-particles.js.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsparticles-particles.js) [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/tsparticles-particles.js)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsparticles-particles.js)

Seriously, you just need to change the script from particles.js to the bundled compatibility package, et-voilà, **you're
ready** 🧙!

You can read more **[here](https://dev.to/matteobruni/migrating-from-particles-js-to-tsparticles-2a6m)**

Want to know 5 reasons to do the
switch? [Read here](https://dev.to/matteobruni/5-reasons-to-use-tsparticles-and-not-particles-js-1gbe)
