[tsParticles](https://github.com/tsparticles/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:

```javascript
loadEmittersPlugin;
```

### Usage

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

```javascript
(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:

```shell
$ npm install @tsparticles/plugin-emitters
```

or

```shell
$ yarn add @tsparticles/plugin-emitters
```

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

```javascript
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

```javascript
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):
  ```ts
  import { loadEmittersPluginSimple } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters/plugin";
  ```
- **Interaction only** (click/hover on emitters):
  ```ts
  import { loadEmittersInteraction } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters/interaction";
  ```

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

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

## Option mapping

- Primary options key: `emitters`

```json
{
  "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
