How to use Particle.js animation in Your React Project
7 min readAug 12, 2023
Steps to integrate Particle.js in your Project as Follows :
1. Know about Tsparticle.JS
- You can browse themes in the present section, also attaching the image so
- you don’t get confused
- Current Theme:
Tunnel
🚀
you can export the file by clicking the export button , as you can see in above photo.
2. Create React App
Create a new folder and open it with VsCode then :
- Open a new Terminal and type
npx create-react-app
2. If you are facing any issues you can check out React official Documentation
3. Install the Particle.js Library
npm i react-tsparticles
npm i tsparticles
If you get any issues, use –force, as this will force update everything, so it can resolve the issues.
npm install react-tsparticles --force
npm install tsparticles --force
Particles.Js Useful Links
4. Next step: you have to create a component folder inside the src folder
- Inside the component folder create one Particle.JSX file
- then paste this code
import Particles from "react-tsparticles";
import { loadFull } from "tsparticles";
const ParticleBackground = () => {
const particlesInit = async (main) => {
console.log(main);
// you can initialize the tsParticles instance (main) here, adding custom shapes or presets
// this loads the tsparticles package bundle, it's the easiest method for getting everything ready
// starting from v2 you can add only the features you need reducing the bundle size
await loadFull(main);
};
return (

export default ParticleBackground;
- If you want to change the background theme, then change the value inside the options = { copied theme code here } which was exported by you from https://particles.js.org/.
- Integrate your code carefully.
- In case you don’t find the options={} tag you can find it by ctrl+f in your Vscode
5. You have to import your Particle.jsx file into the App.jsx
import { useState } from 'react'
import reactLogo from './assets/react.svg'
import viteLogo from '/vite.svg'
import './App.css'
import ParticleBackground from './components/Particle';
function App() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
const onHandleClick = () => {
setCount((count) => count + 1);
}
return (
<>
<ParticleBackground/>
<div>
<a href="https://vitejs.dev" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
<img src={viteLogo} className="logo" alt="Vite logo" />
</a>
<a href="https://react.dev" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
<img src={reactLogo} className="logo react" alt="React logo" />
</a>
</div>
<h1>Vite + React</h1>
<div className="card">
<button onClick={onHandleClick}>
count is {count}
</button>
<p>
Edit <code>src/App.jsx</code> and save to test HMR
</p>
</div>
<p className="read-the-docs">
Click on the Vite and React logos to learn more
</p>
</>
)
}
export default App
