tsParticles Emitters Plugin

tsParticles plugin for particles emitters.

Quick checklist

1. Install @tsparticles/engine (or use the CDN bundle below)
2. Call the package loader function(s) before tsParticles.load(...)
3. Apply the package options in your tsParticles.load(...) config

How to use it

CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery

The CDN/Vanilla version JS has one required file in vanilla configuration:

Including the tsparticles.plugin.emitters.min.js file will export the function to load the plugin:

loadEmittersPlugin;

Usage

Once the scripts are loaded you can set up tsParticles and the plugin like this:

(async () => {
  await loadInteractivityPlugin(tsParticles);
  await loadEmittersPlugin(tsParticles);

  await tsParticles.load({
    id: "tsparticles",
    options: {/* options */},
  });
})();

ESM / CommonJS

This package is compatible also with ES or CommonJS modules, firstly this needs to be installed, like this:

$ npm install @tsparticles/plugin-emitters

or

$ yarn add @tsparticles/plugin-emitters

Then you need to import it in the app, like this:

const { tsParticles } = require("@tsparticles/engine");
const { loadInteractivityPlugin } = require("@tsparticles/plugin-interactivity");
const { loadEmittersPlugin } = require("@tsparticles/plugin-emitters");

(async () => {
  await loadInteractivityPlugin(tsParticles);
  await loadEmittersPlugin(tsParticles);
})();

or

import { tsParticles } from "@tsparticles/engine";
import { loadInteractivityPlugin } from "@tsparticles/plugin-interactivity";
import { loadEmittersPlugin } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters";

(async () => {
  await loadInteractivityPlugin(tsParticles);
  await loadEmittersPlugin(tsParticles);
})();

Granular loading

Instead of the full loadEmittersPlugin, you can import only the parts you need to reduce bundle size:

• Plugin only (emitter lifecycle and drawing):

  import { loadEmittersPluginSimple } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters/plugin";

• Interaction only (click/hover on emitters):

  import { loadEmittersInteraction } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters/interaction";

Lazy-loaded variants are also available by appending /lazy to the import path:

import { loadEmittersPluginSimple } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters/plugin/lazy";
import { loadEmittersInteraction } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters/interaction/lazy";

Option mapping

• Primary options key: emitters

{
  "emitters": {}
}

Common pitfalls

• Calling tsParticles.load(...) before loadInteractivityPlugin(...)
• Verify required peer packages before enabling advanced options
• Change one option group at a time to isolate regressions quickly
