Solid.js Particles (solid-particles)

npm npm

Official tsParticles Solid.js component

I just want code sample

Here the working sample, without any additional text, if someone wants just to see it working and experiment with the code

Now let's see how to achieve this

Installation

npm install solid-particles solid-js
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

or

yarn add solid-particles solid-js
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How to use

Code

Examples:

Remote url

import Particles from "solid-particles";

function App() {
  return (
    <div class="App">
      <Particles
        id="tsparticles"
        options={{
          background: {
            color: "#000",
          },
          fullScreen: {
            enable: true,
          },
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Options object

import Particles from "solid-particles";

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.particlesInit = this.particlesInit.bind(this);
    this.particlesLoaded = this.particlesLoaded.bind(this);
  }

  particlesInit(main) {
    console.log(main);

    // you can initialize the tsParticles instance (main) here, adding custom shapes or presets
  }

  particlesLoaded(container) {
    console.log(container);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Particles
        id="tsparticles"
        init={this.particlesInit}
        loaded={this.particlesLoaded}
