tsParticles Product Hunt

Installation

npm install @tsparticles/react

or

yarn add @tsparticles/react

TypeScript Installation

npm install @tsparticles/react @tsparticles/engine

or

yarn add @tsparticles/react @tsparticles/engine

@tsparticles/engine is the core package for tsParticles, it contains useful types like ISourceOptions, Engine or Container.

create-react-app

Starting from version 1.17.0 there are two official create-react-app templates:

  • cra-template-particles: Simple ReactJS template with full screen particles, using JavaScript
  • cra-template-particles-typescript: Simple ReactJS template with full screen particles, using TypeScript

You can simply install them using the create-react-app command like this:

$ create-react-app your_app --template particles

or

$ create-react-app your_app --template particles-typescript
