@tsparticles/slim
Advanced tools
Easily create highly customizable particle animations and use them as animated backgrounds for your website. Ready to use components available also for React, Vue.js (2.x and 3.x), Angular, Svelte, jQuery, Preact, Riot.js, Inferno.
tsParticles slim bundle loads some of the most used features to
a @tsparticles/engine instance.
Included Packages
The CDN/Vanilla version JS has two different files:
loadSlim function to load the tsParticles slim preset, all dependencies must be
included manuallyIncluding the tsparticles.slim.bundle.min.js file will work exactly like v1, you can start using the tsParticles
instance in the same way.
This is the easiest usage, since it's a single file with the some of the v1 features.
All new features will be added as external packages, this bundle is recommended for migrating from v1 easily.
This installation requires more work since all dependencies must be included in the page. Some lines above are all specified in the Included Packages section.
Once the scripts are loaded you can set up tsParticles like this:
(async () => {
await loadSlim(tsParticles);
await tsParticles.load({
id: "tsparticles",
options: {
/* options */
},
});
})();
The syntax for React.js, Preact and Inferno is the same.
This sample uses the class component syntax, but you can use hooks as well (if the library supports it).
Class Components
import React from "react";
import Particles from "react-particles";
import type { Engine } from "@tsparticles/engine";
import { loadSlim } from "@tsparticles/slim";
export class ParticlesContainer extends PureComponent<unknown> {
// this customizes the component tsParticles installation
async customInit(engine: Engine) {
// this adds the bundle to tsParticles
await loadSlim(engine);
}
render() {
const options = {
/* custom options */
};
return <Particles options={options} init={this.customInit} />;
}
}
Hooks / Functional Components
import React, { useCallback } from "react";
import Particles from "react-particles";
import type { Engine } from "@tsparticles/engine";
import { loadSlim } from "@tsparticles/slim";
export function ParticlesContainer(props: unknown) {
// this customizes the component tsParticles installation
const customInit = useCallback(async (engine: Engine) => {
// this adds the bundle to tsParticles
await loadSlim(engine);
});
const options = {
/* custom options */
};
return <Particles options={options} init={this.customInit} />;
}
The syntax for Vue.js 2.x and 3.x is the same
<Particles id="tsparticles" :particlesInit="particlesInit" :options="options" />
const options = {
/* custom options */
};
async function particlesInit(engine: Engine) {
await loadSlim(engine);
}
<ng-particles [id]="id" [options]="options" [particlesInit]="particlesInit"></ng-particles>
const options = {
/* custom options */
};
async function particlesInit(engine: Engine): void {
await loadSlim(engine);
}
<Particles
id="tsparticles"
options={options}
particlesInit="{particlesInit}"
/>
let options = {
/* custom options */
};
let particlesInit = async (engine) => {
await loadSlim(engine);
};
