tsParticles Fountain Preset

tsParticles preset creating random positioned falling colored particles that break when hitting the ground.

Sample

Quick checklist

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

How to use it

CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tsparticles/preset-fountain@3/tsparticles.preset.fountain.bundle.min.js"></script>

Usage

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

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

  await tsParticles.load({
    id: "tsparticles",
    options: {
      preset: "fountain",
    },
  });
})();

Customization

Important ⚠️ You can override all the options defining the properties like in any standard tsParticles installation.

tsParticles.load({
  id: "tsparticles",
  options: {
    particles: {
      shape: {
        type: "square", // starting from v2, this require the square shape script
      },
    },
    preset: "fountain",
  },
});

Like in the sample above, the circles will be replaced by squares.

Frameworks with a tsParticles component library

Checkout the documentation in the component library repository and call the loadFountainPreset function instead of loadFull, loadSlim or similar functions.

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

Dependencies

This preset loads and combines the following packages:

Package	Role in this preset	README
@tsparticles/basic	Base runtime bundle used by the preset	https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/basic
@tsparticles/engine	tsParticles engine and preset registration	https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/engine
@tsparticles/plugin-emitters	Spawns particles from configurable emitters	https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/plugin-emitters
@tsparticles/plugin-trail	Adds persistent canvas trail rendering	https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/plugin-trail
@tsparticles/updater-destroy	Removes particles when their stage ends	https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsparticles/updater-destroy

If you want to customize one specific behavior, start from the related package README above.

Common pitfalls

• Calling tsParticles.load(...) before loadFountainPreset(tsParticles)
• Changing particle shape without loading the corresponding shape package
• The fountain effect uses emitters; overriding emitters will replace the default fountain behavior
