Canvas-based particle animation for React.

NPM Build Status JavaScript Style Guide

Install

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

Usage

Check out the demo in the example folder.

import React, { Component } from 'react'

import ParticleAnimation from 'react-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).
