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.

npm install @tsparticles/engine
yarn add @tsparticles/engine
pnpm install @tsparticles/engine
const tsParticles = require("@tsparticles/engine");
// or
import { tsParticles } from "@tsparticles/engine";
The imported tsParticles is the same instance you have when including the script in the page using the <script> tag.
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.load(@params); */
tsParticles
.load({
id: "tsparticles",
url: "presets/default.json",
})
.then((container) => {
console.log("callback - tsparticles config loaded");
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
//or
tsParticles.load({
id: "tsparticles",
options: {
/* options here */
},
});
//or
tsParticles.load({
id: "tsparticles",
options: [
{
/* options here */
},
{
/* other options here */
},
],
});
//random object
tsParticles.load({
id: "tsparticles",
options: [
{
/* options here */
},
{
/* other options here */
},
],
index: 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();

Actually, an official tsParticles plugin isn't existing, but I have a collaboration with
the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin collection.
There are some presets ready to be used in this repository, and they also have a bundle file that contains everything needed to run.
This preset loads big colored circles moving upwards on a white background.
You can find the instructions here
This preset loads colored bubbles coming from the bottom of the screen on a white background.
You can find the instructions here
This preset loads white and red confetti launched from the screen center on a transparent background.
You can find the instructions here
This preset loads a faded red to a black background with particles colored like fire and ash sparks.
You can find the instructions here
This preset loads a mouse trail made with small fading particles like little fireflies.
You can find the instructions here
This preset loads a beautiful fireworks effect.

You can find some tsParticles related templates here. The templates are created for Vanilla Javascript, ReactJS, VueJS, Angular, SvelteJS, and other frameworks.
The templates will vary, new ones can be created or older ones updated with the latest features or changed to a better style. Check them out once in a while.
If you created some good design with tsParticles feel free to submit a pull request with your cool template, you'll be credited as the template author!

I've created a tsParticles collection on CodePen 😮 or you can check out my profile
Otherwise, there's the demo page link below.
Want to see even more demos? Clone the repository on your computer and follow these instructions
$ pnpm i
$ pnpm run build
$ cd demo/vanilla
$ pnpm start
Boom! 💥 http://localhost:3000 and you can check out other demos.
If you are brave enough you can switch to the dev branch for trying the features under development.
tsParticles has a package that makes this library 100% compatible with the particles.js configuration.
Seriously, you just need to change the script from particles.js to the bundled compatibility package, et-voilà, you're ready 🧙!
