About The Project

Built With

Install

npm install --save reactjs-particle-animation
# or
yarn add reactjs-particle-animation

Usage

Check out the demo in the example folder.

import React, { Component } from 'react'

import ParticleAnimation from 'reactjs-particle-animation'

class Example extends Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <ParticleAnimation />
    )
  }
}

Props

Property	Type	Default	Description
`numParticles`	number	400	Number of particles to use.
`interactive`	boolean	true	Whether or not animation responds to mouse hover.
`color`	object	{ r: 158, g: 217, b: 249, a: 255 }	Base rgba particle color.
`background`	object	{ r: 255, g: 255, b: 255, a: 255 }	Background rgba color.
`lineWidth`	number	1.0	Connecting line width.
`particleRadius`	number	1.0	Scaling factor for particle radii.
`particleSpeed`	number	1.0	Scaling factor for particle speed.
`...`	...	undefined	Any other props are applied to the root canvas element.

Note that for colors, rgba are all floating point numbers between 0 and 255 (inclusive).

Note that the canvas size will automatically be inferred based on available space via react-sizeme, so it should be really easy to use this component as a fullscreen background as in the demo.

particles.js - Older particle animation. Oddly enough, I developed this animation in Java back in 2008, though the two animations are AFAIK unrelated to each other.
Intersection.Aggregate - Jared Tarbell's original processing work from 2004 which this animation was inspired by (e.g., visualizing the intersections between circles moving about randomly).
