Solid Confetti Explosion

Get the party started with Solid! This package allows you to display a super lightweight confetti explsoion on screen. It doesn't use canvas, only CSS animations. It also doesn't ship a particle generator (lol). A pretty grain solution for all your partying needs.

This library is the Solid port of the amazing herrethan/react-confetti-explosion and svelte-confetti-explosion packages. All the logic is from their packages only, optimisation and Solid code are mine 😉

Features

• 🤏 Tiny - Small and efficient (2kb).
• 🐇 Simple - Quite simple to use, and effectively no-config required!
• 🧙‍♀️ Elegant - Use a Solid component rather than setting things up in onMount hook.
• 🗃️ Highly customizable - Offers tons of options that you can modify to get different behaviors.
• 🖥️ SSR friendly - Works seamlessly in SolidStart and other Server Side Rendering environments!

Try it in Solid REPL

Installing

# pnpm
pnpm add solid-confetti-explosion

# npm
npm install solid-confetti-explosion

# yarn
yarn add solid-confetti-explosion

How to use it

import { ConfettiExplosion } from 'solid-confetti-explosion';

const App () => (
  <ConfettiExplosion />
);

Customizing behavior with options:

const App () => (
  <ConfettiExplosion particleCount={200} force={0.3} />
);

Props

There's tons of options available for this package. All of them are already documented within the code itself, so you'll never have to leave the code editor.

particleCount

Number of confetti particles to create.

type: number

Default value: 150

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion particleCount={200} />

particleSize

Size of the confetti particles in pixels

type: number

Default value: 12

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion particleSize={20} />

duration

Duration of the animation in milliseconds

type: number

Default value: 3500

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion duration={5000} />

colors

Colors to use for the confetti particles. Pass string array of colors. Can use hex colors, named colors, CSS Variables, literally anything valid in plain CSS.

type: Array<string>

Default value: ['#FFC700', '#FF0000', '#2E3191', '#41BBC7']

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion colors={["var(--yellow)", "var(--red)", "#2E3191", "#41BBC7"]} />

particlesShape

Shape of particles to use. Can be mix, circles or rectangles

mix will use both circles and rectangles circles will use only circles rectangles will use only rectangles

type: 'mix' | 'circles' | 'rectangles'

Default value: 'mix'

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion particlesShape="circles" />

force

Force of the confetti particles. Between 0 and 1. 0 is no force, 1 is maximum force. Will error out if you pass a value outside of this range.

type: number

Default value: 0.5

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion force={0.3} />

stageHeight

Height of the stage in pixels. Confetti will only fall within this height.

type: number

Default value: 800

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion stageHeight={500} />

stageWidth

Width of the stage in pixels. Confetti will only fall within this width.

type: number

Default value: 1600

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion stageWidth={500} />

shouldDestroyAfterDone

Whether or not destroy all confetti nodes after the duration period has passed. By default it destroys all nodes, to free up memory.

type: boolean

Default value: true

Example:

<ConfettiExplosion shouldDestroyAfterDone={false} />

Performance

This library functions by creating 2 DOM nodes for every single confetti. By default, if the particlesCount is set to 150, it will create 300 nodes. This is a lot of nodes. For most devices, these many nodes are not a big issue, but I recommend checking your target devices' performance if you choose to go with a higher number, like 400 or 500.

Also, after the specified duration, all the confetti DOM nodes will be destroyed. This is to free up memory. If you wish to keep them around, set shouldDestroyAfterDone to false.
