tsParticles Cards Shape

tsParticles additional cards shape.

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.shape.cards.min.js file will export the function to load the shape:

loadCardsShape

Usage

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

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

  await tsParticles.load({
    id: "tsparticles",
    options: {
      /* options */
      /* here you can use particles.shape.type: ["heart", "diamond", "spade", "club"] */
      /*   or you can use particles.shape.type: ["hearts", "diamonds", "spades", "clubs"] */
    },
  });
})();

ESM / CommonJS

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

$ npm install @tsparticles/shape-cards

or

$ yarn add @tsparticles/shape-cards

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

const { tsParticles } = require("@tsparticles/engine");
const { loadCardsShape } = require("@tsparticles/shape-cards");

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

or

import { tsParticles } from "@tsparticles/engine";
import { loadCardsShape } from "@tsparticles/shape-cards";

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

Granular loading

This package exposes several subpath imports to load only the shapes you need:

• All card suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades):

  import { loadCardSuitsShape } from "@tsparticles/shape-cards/suits";

• Single suit (e.g. clubs):

  import { loadClubsSuitShape } from "@tsparticles/shape-cards/clubs";
  import { loadDiamondsSuitShape } from "@tsparticles/shape-cards/diamonds";
  import { loadHeartsSuitShape } from "@tsparticles/shape-cards/hearts";
  import { loadSpadesSuitShape } from "@tsparticles/shape-cards/spades";

• Card images only (full card face render):

  import { loadFullCardsShape } from "@tsparticles/shape-cards/cards";

All individual loader functions can also use the /lazy suffix for lazy imports (e.g. @tsparticles/shape-cards/clubs/lazy).

Option mapping

• Primary options key: particles.shape.type: "cards"
• Shape-specific options key: particles.shape.options.cards

{
  "particles": {
    "shape": {
      "type": "cards",
      "options": {
        "cards": {}
      }
    }
  }
}

Common pitfalls

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