Tips

Tip 1: Configure your snowfall

You can provide configuration object Partal<SnowebConfig> into the constructor. See the description in the API section

const snoweb = new Snoweb({
  gravity: 20,
  snowflakesColor: 'red',
  snowflakesCount: 200,
  zIndex: 1000,
});

Tip 2: Smooth stop + destroy

By default snoweb.stop() method just smoothly stops the snowfall animation. However, the DOM element still remains. If you want to stop and fully destroy it you can do the following:

const snoweb = new Snoweb();
snoweb.start();
// ...
snoweb.stop(() => snoweb.destroy());
