tsParticles Emitters Shape Canvas Plugin

tsParticles plugin for adding the emitters shape canvas support.

Quick checklist

1. Install @tsparticles/engine (or use the CDN bundle below)
2. Call the package loader function(s) before tsParticles.load(...)
3. Apply the package options in your tsParticles.load(...) config

How to use it

CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery

The CDN/Vanilla version JS has one required file in vanilla configuration:

Including the tsparticles.plugin.emitters.shape.canvas.min.js file will export the function to load the plugin:

loadEmittersShapeCanvasPlugin
Copy

Usage

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

(async () => {
  await loadEmittersPlugin(tsParticles);
  await loadEmittersShapeCanvasPlugin(tsParticles);

  await tsParticles.load({
    id: "tsparticles",
    options: {
      /* options */
    },
  });
})();
Copy

ESM / CommonJS

This package is compatible also with ES or CommonJS modules, firstly this needs to be installed, like this:

$ npm install @tsparticles/plugin-emitters-shape-canvas
Copy

or

$ yarn add @tsparticles/plugin-emitters-shape-canvas
Copy

Then you need to import it in the app, like this:

const { tsParticles } = require("@tsparticles/engine");
const { loadEmittersPlugin } = require("@tsparticles/plugin-emitters");
const { loadEmittersShapeCanvasPlugin } = require("@tsparticles/plugin-emitters-shape-canvas");

(async () => {
  await loadEmittersPlugin(tsParticles);
  await loadEmittersShapeCanvasPlugin(tsParticles);
})();
Copy

or

import { tsParticles } from "@tsparticles/engine";
import { loadEmittersPlugin } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters";
import { loadEmittersShapeCanvasPlugin } from "@tsparticles/plugin-emitters-shape-canvas";

(async () => {
  await loadEmittersPlugin(tsParticles);
  await loadEmittersShapeCanvasPlugin(tsParticles);
})();
Copy

Option mapping

• This package primarily extends runtime behavior or rendering and may not expose a single dedicated root options key.
• Use the usage example in this README and combine with the nearest options section in the docs.

Common pitfalls

• Calling tsParticles.load(...) before loadEmittersPlugin(...)
• Verify required peer packages before enabling advanced options
• Change one option group at a time to isolate regressions quickly
