tsParticles Confetti Cannon Preset

tsParticles preset for confetti launched from a draggable cannon, using the confetti palette.

Sample

Quick checklist

1. Install @tsparticles/engine (or use the CDN bundle below)
2. Call loadConfettiCannonPreset(engine) before tsParticles.load(...)
3. Set preset: "confettiCannon" in options

How to use it

CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tsparticles/preset-confetti-cannon@4/tsparticles.preset.confettiCannon.bundle.min.js"></script>
Copy

Usage

Once the scripts are loaded you can set up tsParticles like this:

(async engine => {
  await loadConfettiCannonPreset(engine);

  await engine.load({
    options: {
      preset: "confettiCannon", // or "confetti-cannon"
    },
  });
})(tsParticles);
Copy

Customization

tsParticles.load({
  id: "tsparticles",
  options: {
    particles: {
      color: {
        value: ["#0000ff", "#00ff00"],
      },
    },
    preset: "confettiCannon", // or "confetti-cannon"
  },
});
Copy

Like in the sample above, the white and red colors will be replaced by blue and lime.

The options shown above are valid for all the component libraries.

Common pitfalls

• Calling tsParticles.load(...) before loadConfettiCannonPreset(engine)
• Overriding emitters with an empty array and expecting default cannon behavior
• Combining multiple emitter changes at once without testing incrementally
