tsParticles ZigZag Path

tsParticles path plugin for on zigzag path movement.

Quick checklist

Install @tsparticles/engine (or use the CDN bundle below)
Call the package loader function(s) before tsParticles.load(...)
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.path.zigzag.min.js file will export the function to load the path plugin:

loadZigZagPath

Usage

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

(async () => {
  await loadZigZagPath(tsParticles);

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

ESM / CommonJS

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

$ npm install @tsparticles/path-zigzag

$ yarn add @tsparticles/path-zigzag

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

const { tsParticles } = require("@tsparticles/engine");
const { loadZigZagPath } = require("@tsparticles/path-zigzag");

(async () => {
  await loadZigZagPath(tsParticles);
})();

import { tsParticles } from "@tsparticles/engine";
import { loadZigZagPath } from "@tsparticles/path-zigzag";

(async () => {
  await loadZigZagPath(tsParticles);
})();

Option mapping

Primary options key: particles.move.path
Path generator name: "zigzag"

{
  "particles": {
    "move": {
      "enable": true,
      "path": {
        "enable": true,
        "generator": "zigzag",
        "options": {}
      }
    }
  }
}

Common pitfalls

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